About Us

Our Mission

Preserve, Protect, and Promote the Bangor region’s rich history and heritage.

About Us

Bangor, Maine, has a powerful past filled with heartwarming stories, commanding personalities, and influential events that shaped the Queen City as we know it.

At the Bangor Historical Society, we’re committed to preserving, protecting, and promoting the rich history of Bangor and her people. We offer a variety of programming, walking tours, and special events. We believe in being a part of our city’s vibrant community and welcome collaborations with our community partners. All of our activities are supported solely through the generous support of our members and friends. We do not receive any local, state, or federal funds unless we are awarded grants for specific projects. Memberships start at just $25 and help us to continue traditions that began with our founding in 1864.
