Vaughan Homestead Foundation

A nonprofit organization

$5,835 raised by 21 donors

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Vaughan Woods & Historic Homestead is a nature preserve and working house museum in the heart of Hallowell, Maine . Built in 1794, it was home to the same family for over 200 years.

Diana Vaughan Gibson and her husband George created the Vaughan Homestead Foundation to oversee both Dianaā€™s ancestral home, Vaughan Homestead, and the adjacent 197-acre nature preserve, Vaughan Woods, which was created by her grandfather at the turn of the 20th century. Their vision was to preserve and interpret the property for its historical, educational and environmental values. The Foundation, a 501(c) 3 non-profit organization, became operational upon Diana and Georgeā€™s deaths in 2001 and 2002, and seeks to make Vaughan Woods & Historic Homestead useful and accessible to the people of Hallowell and surrounding areas.

Vaughan Woods is open to the public daily from dawn to dusk, programs are offered at the Homestead throughout the year, and an effort to catalogue the Foundationā€™s collection of historical papers and artifacts is ongoing.
