The School House Museum of the Lincolnville Historical
Society is located on the second floor of the 1892 building known
as the Beach School. Class for all eight grades was held in this room
until 1947 when the town of Lincolnville built a consolidated school
five miles inland in Lincolnville Center. In 1994 the Historical Society
moved its collection into the restored school room and began to create
a museum. Here are some recent displays.
The "Ancestors Wall" at the top of the stairs, framed portraits
of some early Lincolnville residents.
Wooden dry measures on a treadle sewing machine.
Front of the schoolroom with blackboard which was uncovered during
restoration of room. Visitors who once attended school here sign the
board. The clock is from another Lincolnville school house, the Wiley
School.

friendship bracelet and autograph book. When ever possible displays
of memorabilia focus on the person who owned them, and tell something
of his/her life.

ship Captain Thomas E. Pillsbury.
