Learning to identify these homes can help us see how our communities have changed, and appreciate the unique character-defining features we enjoy so much.  Click here for tickets.

Market at the Meetinghouse
Saturday July 23, 2022
​

Twice a year we host artisans, craftspeople, vintage vendors, and local small businesses for a summer market and a holiday market at the Meetinghouse.  It's always a popular event for local folks and visitors alike.

​

Our Meetinghouse is the summer’s perfect spot for a “pop-up shop” of your beautiful items on Route One.  Vendor spaces are available with all proceeds to benefit the educational programs at the Historical Society. All who are interested are asked to contact us to register for a vendor space.

Warrior Sports Through the Years
At the Meetinghouse, date to be determined
​

Join us as we team up (pun intended!) with the Wells High School Alumni Association to present a fun and fascinating program tracing the history of school sports in Wells and Ogunquit.  Do you have any photos, stories, or newspaper clippings that you're willing to share for the program?  If so, please contact us.  Thank you!

Woodies in the Cove
Saturday, August 13, 2022

After a pandemic-cancelled show in 2020, what a treat it was to see everyone for our 2021 show!  And we're already looking forward to 2022.  This popular event has been held every August for more than 10 years and is well known in the world of Woodie car shows.  We’re pleased that it was one of the “top things to do at Exit 19” in 95 North magazine in 2018 and 2019.  This unique vintage car show and parade is our annual fundraiser, with all proceeds to benefit the Society.  Click here for details!
