Mission:
The mission of the Yarmouth Historical Society is to collect and preserve the history of the Town of Yarmouth and the area of old North Yarmouth, and to educate the public about our community's proud past. Adopted by Board of Trustees, October 26, 2009
Collections:
The primary focus of the collection is the Town of Yarmouth as defined by the boundaries established in 1849. The collections also include materials related to the town of old North Yarmouth as incorporated in 1680, and may include a few materials related to the current towns of Harpswell, Freeport, Cumberland, Pownal, and North Yarmouth.
Materials date from the prehistory of the region to the present, and include all aspects of town history, including social, cultural, economic, political, religious, educational, and architectural history.
Facilities:
The YHS is located on the third floor of the Merrill Memorial Library, but is planning to move into a new facility on East Elm Street, the site of the Yarmouth Water District, in early 2013.
