Mission
FORMED IN 1978, THE MISSION OF THE ELLSWORTH HISTORICAL SOCIETY IS TO SPARK AN APPRECIATION AND UNDERSTANDING OF OUR DIVERSE LOCAL HERITAGE, ITS CONTEXT AND LIVING HISTORY WITHIN AND BEYOND ELLSWORTH AND HANCOCK COUNTY. THROUGH THE COLLECTION, PRESERVATION, INTERPRETATION AND EXHIBITION OF ARTIFACTUAL AND DOCUMENTARY MATERIALS, HISTORY BUILDINGS, CULTURAL PRACTICES AND OTHER INTANGIBLE HERITAGE, THE ELLSWORTH HISTORICAL SOCIETY WILL CONTRIBUTE TO PUBLIC EDUCATION, RESEARCH AND THE COLLECTIVE IDENTITY OF OUR COMMUNITY AND REGION.
