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. Open by Reservation: Our Exhibit Center located at 170A Main Street in Damariscotta. Call 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. Open in 2022: Frances Perkins Homestead National Historic Landmark located in Newcastle, ME, now being restored and made safe for public access. Watch for announcements next year!

Frances Perkins Center Purchases National Historic Landmark
January 3, 2020: the Frances Perkins Center purchased the Frances Perkins Homestead to preserve and protect this National Historic Landmark as an educational resource for Maine and the nation. The generosity of hundreds of donors who seek to honor the principles and legacy of Frances Perkins made this achievement possible.
We are now working on preservation efforts to ready the Homestead for safe public access.
