Frances Perkins National Monument is a 57-acre rural homestead along the Damariscotta River in Newcastle, Maine. The Perkins Homestead was continuously owned by the Perkins family for over 270 years and was a place Frances Perkins visited throughout her life, often providing her a respite and inspiration. The historic homestead remains much as it looked during her lifetime with the family’s historic home built in 1837, barn, gardens, and paths through the Maine countryside. The homestead is the location of the Frances Perkins Center, a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving her legacy. Frances Perkins National Monument is a new national park. The National Park Service will continue to work with the local communities and partners, including the Frances Perkins Center, to plan for visitor experiences. Information about visiting the park will continue to be added on this website. Find more information about visiting the park: |
