The RHS has a huge amount of information about Rockland and environs. The folks there are enthusiastic and know so much about the area’s history. This is a great stop when visiting downtown Rockland. It is located in the lower level of the beautiful Rockland Public Library.

Typical local historical society for Maine. They all do a good job of getting the local history out in a no frills or fancy way. They often have guest speakers/programs. You will come away with intimate knowledge of the area if you choose to read, look, listen and learn.

When you first walk into Rockland Historical Society you can tell right away that painstaking care was taken in preserving and displaying the history stored in Rockland, Maine. What a varied and wonderful display to take in with a knowledgeable staff to narrate details about the pieces. if you find yourself in Rockland and need something fun to do, don't hesitate to stop in and learn a great deal about the building blocks of a very cool town in midcoast Maine. A rich history in limestone burning, shipbuilding and much more awaits!
