About
The Aroostook County Historical and Art Museum (also known as the Houlton Museum) is a local history museum located in the White Memorial Building at 109 Main Street in Houlton, Maine. The museum was founded in 1937, after its building—a 1903 Colonial Revival house also known as the Donworth House—was donated to the town by the White family. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. During World War II, the building served as headquarters for the local chapter of the American Red Cross.
The museum's collections include artifacts and documents from Ricker Classical Institute and Ricker College; a photography collection assembled by local amateur photographer Edward B. White; militaria and domestic objects; and artwork and photographs relating to the World War II Camp Houlton prisoner-of-war camp.
