A World Premiere John Mellencamp Musical
Step into the story of a small town in free-fall. Including John Mellencamp’s greatest hits, this isn’t just a musical—it’s a pulse-pounding story of the men and women living on the edge of the promise. Follow Jack and Diane, two star-crossed lovers refusing to let the world break them or bury their youthful fire. Through the echoes of “Hurts So Good,” “Lonely Ol’ Night,” “Small Town,” and the iconic “Jack and Diane,” witness a multigenerational community at a crossroads, making tough choices in a desperate bid for a better life.
Music and Lyrics by John Mellencamp

Walking Tour: The Story of Colonial York
2026-10-08 13:00 - 14:00 | Old York Museum Center, 3 Lindsay Road, York, ME, 03909
York was permanently settled beginning in the 1630s by English colonists. Prior to that time, the Abenaki people had been coming to York seasonally for centuries, farming and fishing near York River, and calling the region Agamenticus. Throughout the colonial period, York was the county seat for the Province of Maine, the center of legal activity, and a port town whose economy thrived on maritime trade. This walking tour explores the story of colonial York, and the economic and social transformations that took place following the American Revolution.
The tour begins promptly at the Old York Museum Center at 3 Lindsay Rd. Parking is available along Lindsay Road and in Old York’s parking lot. Please arrive no later than 5 minutes prior to the start time.
The tour lasts approximately an hour, and covers a two-block area along York Street. The terrain is uneven, and comfortable shoes are recommended. There is a slight incline on Gaol Hill.
