LIVERMORE — The Norlands Living History Center will celebrate Maine Maple Sunday March 28 with a new spin on the traditional pancake breakfast. This year, Norlands Maple Syrup and Pancake Mix can be ordered online. Orders can be picked-up between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. at 290 Norlands Road, via a “drive-thru & contact free” Maine Maple Sunday event. Visitors are required to wear masks. All orders directly support Norlands’ living history programs and restoration efforts.
The Norlands Living History Center is a multifaceted historic site, museum, and working farm where costumed interpreters portray real people who lived in the Norlands’ neighborhood in the 1800s. Norland’s is Maine’s oldest living history center and has been placed on the National Register of Historic Places. Its mission is to preserve the heritage and traditions of rural life in Maine’s past, celebrate the achievements of Livermore’s Washburn family, and use living history methods to make the values, activities and issues of the past relevant to present and future generations.
