In 2026, the United States of America will mark its 250th anniversary. The Maine Ulster-Scots Project plans to embrace this historic moment by organizing events and developing initiatives to identify and honor the Scots-Irish Revolutionary War Patriots with connection to Maine who helped win the American War of Independence.

We look forward to organizing a series of inclusive activities showcasing our Patriots and battles that occurred in Maine. Watch is space as plans are formalized.
