The Cherryfield-Narraguagus Historical Society holds a central role in our community, even for those who have not yet discovered it.  The Society is the keeper of our history, the collector of our stories, and a direct connection to our heritage.  Our goal is to share the stories of Cherryfield through collecting, preserving, and interpreting history – and we hope you will join us in 2026. 

Structural Renovations.  We received a grant through Maine Preservation to conduct a structural assessment of the museum building to help us most effectively tackle those pretty major repairs.  The Design Group Collaborative conducted an assessment in September, and we will share the findings on our website when completed. 

Remembering our Loved Ones.  Our dedicated Secretary Kelley Wescott built a beautiful memorial garden on the front lawn to honor her mother, Gloria (Mathews) Bagley.  In 2026 we will offer opportunities for others to contribute to completing this garden in honor of their own loved ones. 

An anonymous donor gave $2,000 toward completing renovations to the 2^nd floor to create exhibit space, in honor of Kathy Upton.  Larry Brown has dedicated years to this endeavor, and we are excited that the biggest next step –  sheet rocking and most of the wiring – is done!  In 2026 a new floor and window trim will be installed, walls painted, and then at last we can begin setting up exhibits!!
