Summer is here and we are open to the public every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 1pm-4pm. We are currently updating our displays, so stop by to see what we have been working on! We will continue to be here on Friday mornings, 9am-noon, when our crew of volunteers is busy working on the collection; we're always happy to take a break and show you around. We are also open by appointment, just call or email to set something up.

Our next event is on Friday, September 26th at 7pm:

Fighting for Freedom, Fighting for Survival, presented by the Lady Knox DAR Chapter.

Fighting for Freedom, Fighting for Survival recounts Midcoast Maine history told through the lives of real people interred in Tolman Cemetery in Rockland, Maine. Local patriots of the American Revolution served from Lexington to Long Island, Quebec City to Saratoga. In the War of 1812, sons battled trade wars, smugglers, and privateers with firefights in Rockland Harbor and a standoff in Camden. These 40 men come to life through details of their families, community, and occupations. Their biographies are portals to the past when early pioneers fought the British and nature. The book forms a framework for understanding the settlement and growth of Thomaston, Rockland, and Rockport. Hyper-local history underscores how the lives, families, and stories are interwoven as they built homes in a wilderness while facing challenges of two wars of independence.
