Lincoln County Historical Association

The Lincoln County Historical Association (LCHA) is a non-profit organization dedicated to collecting, preserving, and interpreting the history of Lincoln County, Maine. They are the stewards of three historic buildings: the 1761 Pownalborough Court House in Dresden, the 1811 Old Jail in Wiscasset, and the 1754 Chapman-Hall House in Damariscotta. These buildings serve as museums open to the public, featuring collections that tell the stories of Lincoln County's past, including textiles, tools, furniture, and photographs. The LCHA also offers educational programs for children and teens, focusing on historical skills and pastimes of the 18th and 19th centuries.
