BRIDGTON — The Rufus Porter Museum of Art and Ingenuity, 121 Main St., recently was awarded a grant from the Kendal C. and Anna Ham Charitable Foundation to assist in completing Phase III of its new museum campus — the development of a third building.
The expansion will include construction of a post and beam barn-like structure that will complement Main Street and the two other historic museum buildings on the site. The building will provide much-needed areas for programs and community involvement, as well as display space for murals currently in temporary locations.
“We are so grateful for the Ham Foundation’s continued support of our efforts,” said Executive Director Karla Leandri Rider. “The museum is encouraged by their generosity as fundraising efforts continue. We are very excited to be working on such an important project that will benefit the entire community.”
The Rufus Porter Museum opened for its 18th season on June 11.
