The Hampden Historical Society meets the 4th Monday of each month (March through November) at 7:00 p.m. at the Kinsley Home.
The John Hampden Society was formed in 1992 to honour the 17th centuryEnglish parliamentarian after whom the town of Hampden was named in 1794. In August 1994 eight members of the Society were guests at the Bicentennial Celebrations, and strong links have been forged between Hampden Historical Society and the John Hampden Society.
John Hampden became famous for opposing King Charles I's illegal Ship Money tax, and was one of the architects of parliamentary democracy in England. Hampden (Maine) is one of a dozen towns throughout the world named after the man known to history as 'The Patriot'.
Membership is open to all persons and organizations interested in preserving, researching or learning about the history of Hampden, Maine.
