Maine State Museum

The Maine State Museum contains over 500,000 artifacts across 30,000 square feet of exhibition space, presenting Maine's natural and cultural heritage through five permanent galleries.

Founded in 1971, the museum holds the nation's first preserved Civil War flags collection and maintains extensive records documenting Maine's participation in the conflict.

The museum preserves collections of Maine-produced furniture, silver works, ceramics, textiles, including industrial tools and patterns from the E.S. Frost Company manufacturing period.

The institution maintains a digital database of its collections, allowing researchers and students to access historical documents, images, and artifact information through online platforms.

The museum stores and manages artifacts in the Maine State House and Blaine House, connecting government buildings with historical preservation efforts.
