Monson Historical Society Museum

The Monson Historical Society Museum, located in Monson, Maine, is housed in a historic building originally constructed in 1889 as a fire station and meeting place for Civil War veterans. This two-story wood-frame structure features unique architectural elements, including a hose-drying tower that drains directly into Phillips Brook. The museum showcases local historical artifacts and is open to visitors on Saturdays during the summer. As one of the few surviving 19th-century fire stations in rural Maine, it offers a glimpse into the town's past and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
