The 2 will now represent Maine at the 2019 National Contest which will be held June 9-13 at the University of Maryland, College Park. This year's theme is Triumph and Tragedy in History.
Nelson and MacPherson competed in the group exhibit competition, where they had to put research highlights on a trifold board and were then interviewed extensively by three Maine historians on their topic. They chose to research the Underground Railroad in Maine.
