Annual Appeal

The Chebeague Island Historical Society has had a memorable and important year of transition. We launched the new permanent exhibit in the Museum, and returned to a favorite event, the bi-annual CIHS House Tour.

Stay tuned for the launch of our new website, with new content and more dynamic features, including membership and donations online! CIHS is looking toward our future, with help from our members and community, we are confident that we will thrive in this coming year!

Please consider donating and becoming a member of CIHS. Here’s how you make a difference:

— Donating members are the backbone of CIHS and of all programs and goals. 

— The Historical Society Museum, exhibits and online resources are free to all visitors.

Whether you are becoming a member for the first time or have supported CIHS for years, by including a sustaining donation in addition to your basic membership, you make our programs possible for 2025 and beyond.

Look for our Annual Appeal letter in your mailbox, or donate now.

CIHS President

The Historical Society Board of Trustees has announced the departure of our President, Beth McNulty.  She has resigned in order to devote more time to her health and work as an artist.  There is no question but that CIHS has grown with her leadership and energy at the helm.  We will miss her, but she has promised to continue in some volunteer work with us.  There is no other change in Board leadership for now.

December Mystery Photo

This mystery photo is a mystery! It was sent to us by a person whose family had summered on Chebeague.

At first glance, it seemed familiar, but we couldn’t quite place it. It took some research, but we figured it out. The questions are: Where is it? Can you name someone who lived there? Email  [email protected] with the answer or call Donna Damon at 846-5140.
