Located in beautiful, unspoiled downeast Maine, Milbridge was once a busy shipbuilding center. This museum preserves the record of this shipbuilding era and other historic artifacts related to the town's proud heritage. Read more about Milbridge.
The Milbridge Historical Society's Museum is owned and operated by the Milbridge Historical Society, a private, non-profit corporation. There is no admission charge, but donations are welcome to help support the ongoing programs of the museum. School groups are especially welcome.
Do you need a space to hold a meeting or small function? If so, think of renting the museum's meeting room. The facility has video and audio equipment available as well as a full kitchen. For rental information email info@milbridgehistoricalsociety.org

The museum opens for the season on the first Saturday of June.
Normal hours in June are Saturdays and Sundays from 1 to 4 p.m.
During July and August, the museum is open on Tuesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays from 1 to 4 p.m.
During the winter, the museum is open by appointment only. Please email info@milbridgehistoricalsociety.org or call (207) 546-4471 to schedule a visit during this time.
We hope you will be able to visit the museum this summer. If you have suggestions about exhibits or items you would be willing to loan for display, or give to the museum for the Gifts for Good program in association with Thomaston Place Auction Galleries, we'd love to hear from you. Contact the curator at curator@milbridgehistoricalsociety.org
Do you have items that you would be willing to loan to the museum for a specified period of time? We would be happy to talk to you about the possibility. We would need to have the item/s from March until December. This gives us time to fit it into the whole exhibit, to make proper signage and labels, and to have it ready for visiting school groups in early May. We can promise you that we will give it our special care and white-glove handling.
Do you know someone else who has something they might be willing to loan us? We’d like to know that too. Or perhaps there’s a favorite display from the past that you’d like to see again. Let us know about it.
Genealogists we urge you to register in our genealogy book. Tell us what families you are researching, which families you need more information about, your computer program, and your address and e-mail address. We hope this will help you get in touch with each other and share information.
