Our Team

Welcome to the Hebron Historical Society. We are an all volunteer group trying our best to make a difference. We receive no town funding so we rely on our annual yard sale, selling lunch at the yearly town meeting, membership dues, and donations. The Society also researches, and has published a number of publications available for sale.

Welcome to our website.

New home for HHS. Originally a mid 1800 school house.

(b) to provide to the general public a resource of historical data, documents and artifacts for the purposes of study, broad public education and enjoyment

	Program: Laura Brown Director of Operations Poland Spring Preservation Society will present a talk on the History of Poland Spring.
	Poland Spring Resort has a Legendary place in the history of Maine. A huge Hotel, the Poland Springs House, attracted vacationers who were the economic and social elite of the country. The Ricker family purchased the Maine State Building of the 1893 Columbian Exposition, dismanteled it, and rebuilt it at Poland Spring. Other features are the golf course, the Chapel, and of course the bottling plant. Laura Brown has been on the property since before she could walk! From volunteering in the museum and gift shop at the young age of 5, to giving tours at the age of 12, on the Board Of Directors for 7 years, and currently the Director of Operations, she has certainly fallen in love with the unique history of Poland Spring.

We cordially invite you to our monthly programs they are free, and open to the public !

The membership meetings are normally held in the Hebron Town Office conference room on the 4th Tuesday of each month, at 7P.M.
