Odamogan Living History Museum

The ODAMOGAN LIVING HISTORY MUSEUM Project will be a full scale Eastern Abenaki palisaded village and is now a not for profit 501(c)(3) corporation. The goal is to educate school students and the public on the aspects of Native life in the 1600's. The State of Maine has enacted Public Law 2001, chapter 291 which was amended by H-666. The Public Laws of Maine first regular session of the 120th as amended Public Law 2001, Chapter 403 H.P. 255 - L.D. 291. An Act to Require Teaching of Maine's Native American History and Culture in Maine's Schools. With this new Law in place and with the 2004 - 2005 School year as the first year of the implemented Law L.D. - 291, ODAMOGAN LIVING HISTORY MUSEUM has been created to help the Schools Teachers implement this new Law, L.D.-291.

ODAMOGAN LIVING HISTORY MUSEUM is a Nonprofit Living History Museum offering quality programs for the public and school students. O.L.H.M. is an interactive full scale village set in the 1600's, where Native history comes alive. Visitors will see, hear, smell, and get a sense of what life was like living the way the Eastern Abenaki did in the interior on the Cobbosseecontee, fishing, hunting, farming, and protecting the homeland from the Awanoc (the strangers), the English, the Dutch, and the French. The Staff and the Interpreters will be able to explain the politics, and life ways, as well as all other aspects of life in the 1600's.
