Welcome to the Waldoborough Historical Society

Museum is Open (2009): June thru September, Tuesday through Sunday, 1-4 PM

The museum is now closed until mid June but we welcome any inquiries through our email link. Be watching for news about our exciting new exhibit which will be unveiled in June.

Great new programs are being scheduled for 2010, including James Nelson, author of George Washington's Secret Navy among other novels.

We appreciate all the visitors to the museum and hope that while in the area visitors picked up a copy of Discover Maine which had a feature article about our coveted Waldoboro rugs.

One of the Rugs on Exhibit

Located in the beautiful and historic Town of Waldoboro, Maine.

Step back in time to visit a truly unique collection of items of interest, not only to Waldoboro, but to all who want a glimpse of life "back in the day".

On site are three distinct buildings.

The Barn has been reorganized to display an area that will charm any lady visitor. There are vintage clothes, an antique beading center, sewing machines, and jewelry as well as of course our famous quilts. There are also the wonderful Waldoboro rugs, and an newly organized children's display with dolls and toys. Check out some pictures on the new and noteworthy link.
The Hauck Building now houses a special exhibit area that will periodically change as well as being the "tool and transportation" exhibit building.

...as well as the one room schoolhouse. There is also a Town Pound, built in 1819, and used as the first place to keep stray horses and sheep.

The Waldoborough Historical Society mourns the loss of its long time member Randall Gross. Randy was dedicated to preserving as much information as possible not only about Waldoboro history but also about the genealogical roots of anyone with connections with Waldoboro. His final contribution to this effort was to compile write and have published a two volume set Cemeteries of Waldoboro Maine which was a massive undertaking. He will truly be missed.
