Liberty Hall
Machiasport, Maine
A Race against Time
About
A proud symbol of American History
Overlooking the site of the first naval victory of the American Revolution, Liberty Hall Maine in Machiasport, Maine is one of America's most significant historical monuments. It is also one of Maine's most distinguished examples of civic architecture. A remarkably successful public-private partnership rescued this building in the face of its imminent demise. But much more needs to be done. The mission of the Campaign to Save Liberty Hall is to complete the restoration of this inspiring and irreplaceable landmark, and make it the center of community life once again.

Planned Workdays
Last summer the roof of Liberty Hall was replaced and the building stayed snug and dry through the long, cold winter. Now spring is here and our Open House is on the horizon, we will be doing a spring clean to get Liberty Hall ready for summer visitors. If you would like to volunteer to help in this task, please be in touch with Marcia in the Machiasport Town Office or contact us via this website.
Restoration next steps
We are currently seeking funds to complete the last part of Phase 3 and Phase 4 of the restoration process. This work involves demolishing the interior chimney at the back of the theater to make way for emergency egress to the bank behind Liberty Hall. Once this is completed, we will move to the full interior restoration of the building. This will include: installation septic system, utilities, walls and ceiling repair, painting, ADA access, kitchen, community rooms etc.
