OUR MISSION IN ACTION
BECOME A MEMBER
The Kennebunkport Historical Society is a non-profit, member-supported organization. The Society was founded in 1952 to preserve, protect and present Kennebunkport’s social, cultural and architectural history. It has continued this scholarly tradition for more than 60 years and has greatly expanded its scope and outreach during this time. The Society stewards multiple period buildings, an extensive clothing collection, and archives that include artifacts, photographs, books, and artwork; all of which are open to the public and available for research. We continue to honor the mission of the Society, with the goal of making its collections more accessible, more relevant, and more connected to our day-to-day lives.
VOLUNTEER
Volunteering is not about the value of doing something for free; it’s about the FREEDOM to do something of VALUE!
As we slowly emerge from the challenge of 2020, many of us find ourselves missing the feeling of community. Join our team and help us preserve history while having some fun!’
