About Aroostook County Historical and Art Museum

The Aroostook County Historical and Art Museum is located in Houlton, Maine. The museum was founded in 1937, after its building, a 1903 Colonial Revival house, was donated to the town by the White family. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. The Houlton Museum's collections include artefacts and documents from Ricker Classical Institute and Ricker College; the photography collection of E. B. White; militaria and domestic objects; and art from the Houlton POW camp from WWII. The building is commonly known as the Donworth House, for MacIntyre's daughter, Mrs. Marion L.
