At present the Society is raising money to purchase and renovate the old Bailey's store. We hope to use it as a place to store as well as display our artifacts and well as a place to prepare the artifacts for display. The project is being sponsored by Harpswell Historical Society and the Harpswell Garden Club.  If you would like more information about the store, the restoration project, or donations please contact David Hackett at 833-6322 or Burr Taylor at  725-2802 or burrtaylor2@gmail.com
