Happy Thanksgiving!
On behalf of our Board of Directors and our Museum Director we wish you a Happy Thanksgiving! We have had a long separation from you and you from us, but we hope you are looking forward to 19th Century Curran Village’s re-opening in 2022. We wish you good health and a pleasant holiday as we all give thanks for our many blessings. We have been and continue to be busy creating a learning resource for you and your family this year. 19th Century Curran Village has grown exponentially in the last two years; we need your continued help to assist us in this growth. Please donate what you can for this 2021 fiscal year to assist us in not only meeting the goal of opening our doors in the spring but securing a future of sharing our many learning opportunities with you and your family. We tentatively hope to have a public event, our Annual Ice Harvest on Fields Pond, on January 29 from 9AM-3PM; there will be hands-on activity with antique tools, Belgian draft horses pulling our bobsled for rides in the Village, food to eat, and a warm place with social distancing practised as well as some interesting surprises from our collections. Our tentative plan is to have our 1894 horse carousel on exhibit; getting a ride on the carousel will have to wait until next year as electrical installation and excavation for underground piping for our air compressor that powers the carousel are on temporarily on hold. We hope to see you at the Ice Harvest when we can share the progress of 19th Century Curran Village at 372 Fields Pond Road, Orrington, Maine.
