Here at the Frances Perkins Center, the Coronavirus hasn’t changed our work so much as it has made it even clearer why it matters. New Deal principles, intelligently implemented, rescued millions of Americans in earlier generations. Applied to twenty-first century challenges, we believe that New Deal principles can make the difference today. And, like our namesake, the Frances Perkins Center is committed to being part of the solution.

July 2021: We are delighted to announce the re-opening of our Exhibit Center located at 170A Main Street in Damariscotta by appointment beginning in July. Call us in advance to schedule a visit Tuesday through Fridays from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM.  We do ask, for now, to please wear a mask as our space is small and we want to ensure we are protecting everyone in our community. We also encourage you to watch for new news and updates via the Frances Perkins Center Facebook page and our regular e-newsletter.
