Preserving Hampden’s History Together
As autumn arrives in full color, bringing cool sweater weather and shimmering leaves, it also brings a renewed opportunity to make a meaningful impact in our community. The Hampden Historical Society thrives on the dedication of volunteers, but continued support from friends and neighbors is essential to keep our doors open and our town’s legacy alive.
This year, our Annual Appeal is more important than ever. We are currently tackling three significant challenges: repairing a retaining wall that needs urgent attention, restoring a porch that has seen better days, and launching an ambitious initiative to digitize our cherished historical records. Your contribution plays a vital role in preserving Hampden’s rich heritage while energizing our community for the future.
If you are ready to make history with us, please send your donation to Hampden Historical Society, PO Box 456, Hampden, ME 04444. You can also click here and give directly through our website. Every gift is a step toward safeguarding our shared story and ensuring Hampden’s history remains vibrant for generations to come.
Talking About Owls
Hampden Historical Society was treated to a wonderful evening with Jeff Fister on August 25, learning about raptors, particularly owls, and woodcarving. Fister, a former board member and current Society member, shared his extensive knowledge of owls, especially those here in Maine, and demonstrated his woodcarving skills by showing us some of his beautiful work.
