Farming in Maine at the Time of Statehood
Presented by Neil Piper.
Farming methods at the time Maine achieved statehood differed vastly from how agriculture is practiced today. This program will look at how farmers eked a living from the soil in Maine in the early 19th century and the role they played in Maine becoming a state. It will show how a Department of Agriculture was developed to support the growing agricultural industry.

New Roof!

Thanks to a grant from the Linwood Dyer Endowment, we were able to replace the aging roof on the museum’s addition. It looks really great and the shingles match those of the nearby Alger Hall.
