A new exhibit at the Maine Historical Society titled "Notorious: Maine Crime in the Public Eye, 1690–1940" is offering a deep dive into the state's historical intrigue with true crime.

The exhibit examines the evolution of media sensationalism and public consumption of crime stories from the era of early American printing to the beginnings of photojournalism.

Visitors can explore the social impact of high-profile crimes in Maine, gaining insight into how these events have shaped public perception and media practices over the centuries.

The exhibit runs from March 14 through December 31 at the Maine Historical Society on Congress Street in Portland.
