About the Harpswell Historical Society
Mission Statement 

The Harpswell Historical Society, founded in 1978, is a non-profit organization dedicated to the care and preservation of historical documents and artifacts belonging to the Town of Harpswell and the identification, collection, preservation and display of other historical materials given or loaned to the Society in order to promote a better knowledge and understanding of Harpswell's people and traditions. This goal is to be accomplished in the following ways:

  1. Preservation of the town's existing records and artifacts through accepted conservation practices and maintenance of the Old Meeting House using town funds.

  2.  Expanding the collection through the addition of papers and artifacts which promote and enhance the understanding of the town specifically and the Casco Bay area generally.

  3.  Developing an educational program at the grade school level in Harpswell history.

  4.  Providing access to these resources by creating and maintaining indexes and displays and developing historical programs relating to Harpswell's past.

  5.  Continued cooperation with the Harpswell Garden Club in the development of The Harpswell Historic Park.
