19th Century Curran Village

19th Century Curran Village Our mission embraces a comprehensive view of rural Maine and New England life from the 1850s-1920s. We have started to have events.

Check our website for our season calendar. We have open days starting in May, 2023. Check out the details of our Summer Camp. Give us a call if you plan on visiting; we may be on site other days. There is still ongoing construction this season with more buildings opening up in 2023. Call in advance, if you want to tour the museum village with the director (207-205-4849). We are located adjacent to

Fields Pond in the towns of Orrington and Holden in Penobscot County in the State of Maine. We offer various seasonal events, an ongoing schedule of childrens' workshops with S.T.E.A.M. learning objectives as well as traditional arts workshops for children and adults. Additionally, we are developing a museum village that will offer hands-on experiences with a more comprehensive presentation of rural Maine and New England life, including trades and professions characteristic of village life from the 1850s-1920s. We hope to provide field trip opportunities for public and home school students through arrangement. Call: 207-205-4849, Email us: thecurranhomestead@gmail, or visit us at: www.curranhomestead.org
