Presque Isle Historical Society is striving to meet the State of Maine guidelines for opening by encouraging social distancing, frequent hand cleansing, wearing face coverings, and limiting numbers allowed inside our venues so as to protect you, our volunteers and our historic collections.  The Maysville Museum will open for the season on Saturday, June 20 at 10:00 a.m.  All trolley tours have been cancelled for the season at this time (may be changed later due to CDC recommendations).  However, our other tours (Guided Tour of Historic Fairmount Cemetery, Guided Tour of 1875 Vera Estey House Museum, Haunted Hearse Tours, Haunted Lantern Tours) will begin in June as regularly scheduled.  Special events such as Heritage Day at the Museum, Roosevelt Day at the Museum, and Victorian Christmas at the Estey are currently scheduled to take place as planned.  We hope to see you soon!
