Discover the Washburn Norlands
The Washburn Norlands is a 400-acre estate that includes a stately Victorian country mansion with a farmer’s cottage, a gothic-style granite library, a Universalist meetinghouse, a one-room schoolhouse, an expanse of picturesque working farmland, historic carriage trails, and an expansive archive of 19th century documents and ephemera.

Come to School in 1870
Who were the remarkable Washburns who built Norlands, led states and people, invented, explored, innovated and always returned home to Maine?
When you bring your class, camp, scout troop, or youth group to the Washburn Norlands Living History Center, volunteer and staff interpreters lead your students in an educational and historical experience as if it were the 19th century. Our educational school-age program is designed for history lovers of all ages. Each session is within the capacity of today’s learners and they gain an understanding of what life was like in this crossroads neighborhood of Livermore, Maine. Small groups participate in a variety of activities throughout the buildings on the Washburn Norlands campus.
