As a part of the Norlands community you help us preserve a unique Maine treasure.
At Norlands, we try to bring visitors to a time in Maine's past - its practices, ideas, customs, and wisdom.
We also connect visitors and community members alike with an exceptional Maine family - the Washburns.
As a nonprofit organization, Norlands relies on generous donors and members to support our entire operations.
Realizing our full potential requires animal feed and farm supplies, maintained buildings and grounds,
care of historical collections, trained volunteers and staff, and more. Norlands is more than a place ~ it's a community.
