The Bangor Historical Society was founded in 1864 and is one of Maine’s most active stewards of local history, dedicated to Preserving, Protecting, and promoting the rich stories that have shaped the Queen City. Through its collections, archives, and public programs, the Society safeguards the Thomas A. Hill House and thousands of artifacts, photographs, objects, paintings, garments, and documents that illuminate Bangor’s history—from its early days as a frontier settlement to its rise as the Lumber Capital of the World and its continued role as a cultural and economic center for the region.
Beyond preservation, the Society plays a vital role in community engagement. It offers walking tours, lectures, exhibits, and educational programs that connect residents and visitors with the people, industries, and events that define Bangor’s identity. Whether interpreting the Great Fire of 1911, celebrating the city’s diverse immigrant communities, or exploring the lives of everyday Bangor residents, the Bangor Historical Society ensures that the city’s past remains accessible, relevant, and deeply woven into its present.
