Welcome to the Farmingdale Historical Society
 
The purpose of the Society is to study the history of Farmingdale; gather and preserve information, artifacts, and materials regarding the Town’s history, people, places and structures; to present and make available such information, to stimulate local and regional interest in Farmingdale; and to promote and assist in the preservation of Farmingdale’s historic sites and structures when ever possible and practicable.
 
The society was formed to keep alive Farmingdale's wonderful heritage.  Many industries have prospered here to include Ice Houses, Shipbuilding, Lumber & Sawmills, and Pottery, whose products went down the Kennebec River to other parts of the
United States and many foreign countries.  There are many
historic homes, sites, documents, pictures, and artifacts in the
town that the Historical Society seeks to preserve and protect for posterity. We encourage residents to join and assist us in preserving Farmingdale's history.

The Society began a program seeking out senior residents asking them to record their early recollections of the Town. 
The initial program produced two discs of material.  It is hoped that more residents will come forward to record their recollections and major events.
