Longfellow Trail Walking Tour (1 hour visit)

A growing museum, incomparable library and statewide educational resource, Maine Historical Society is located in the heart of Portland’s downtown cultural district. Founded in 1822, the Maine Historical Society is the third oldest state historical society in the United States. MHS is comprised of the Wadsworth–Longfellow House and Longfellow Garden, the Maine Historical Society Museum and Store, the MHS Research Library and the online database Maine Memory Network. Our one–acre campus, which is open year round to educational groups, is situated in downtown Portland, across from Monument Square. The Maine Historical Society strives to serve the entire state through its education and outreach programs.

For school/educational groups, MHS charges a flat rate based on group size: up to 15 students = $75, 16-30 students = $150, and 30-50+ = $225. If that cost is in anyway prohibitive, please email Kathleen Neumann at kneumann@mainehistory.org explaining your circumstances. MHS never wants cost to be the reason a school/educational group can’t visit MHS and so we are happy to work with you to make necessary adjustments and accommodations.
