The Penobscot County Genealogical Society meets monthly on the third Wednesday at 12:30pm with a social meeting at 12:00pm, usually at the Bangor Public Library, 143 Harlow St., in Bangor. Meetings consist of speakers presenting their genealogical research, family and local history, genealogical travel and other topics of interest. Two meetings a year are dedicated to research at the Bangor Public Library or Family History Center at the Bangor LDS Church. Local cemeteries and historical societies are sometimes visited. A newsletter is published quarterly and an annual picnic is held in June for members.
