*Through February 22, 2015*  
  
In commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the publication of Henry David Thoreau’s *The Maine Woods*, this exhibition features the stunning photographs of Scot Miller, who has traversed the state of Maine for years, retracing the footsteps of Thoreau, New England’s native son. *Thoreau’s Maine Woods: A Journey in Photographs with Scot Miller* highlights the many places that Thoreau explored and wrote about using finely-crafted photographs, as well as historical information, and specimens from Harvard’s collections, including one-of-a-kind plant samples collected in northern Maine by Thoreau himself. The exhibition complements the permanent exhibition, *[New England Forests](http://hmnh.harvard.edu/new-england-forests)* in the Zofnass Family Gallery, and the new Peabody Museum special exhibition, [*The Legacy of Penobscot Canoes: A View from the River*](https://peabody.harvard.edu/node/938), which explores the enduring importance of rivers and canoes in Penobscot tribal life and on relationships between the tribe and non-Indians.
