about The curran homestead

Preserving Maine’s past through hands-on history, education, and community engagement.

A living history Experience

The Curran Homestead Living History Farm & Museum Village is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving Maine’s agricultural and cultural heritage.

Through immersive, hands-on experiences, we bring history to life for visitors of all ages. From historic buildings and traditional trades to educational programs and seasonal events, the Homestead offers a unique opportunity to connect with the past in meaningful and engaging ways.

More than a museum

At the Curran Homestead, history is something you experience.


Visitors can explore a growing Museum Village, watch demonstrations of traditional trades, participate in workshops, and engage directly with the tools, skills, and stories that shaped rural Maine life.


Our mission is not only to preserve history, but to inspire curiosity, learning, and community connection.

Rooted in community

As a non-profit organization, the Curran Homestead is supported by a dedicated community of members, volunteers, donors, and visitors.


Together, we are building a place where history is preserved, shared, and experienced — not just for today, but for future generations.
