Collections:
The society has an eclectic collection of artifacts, photos, memorabilia, and historic objects.
Under construction is a research library where genealogists and historians will be invited to delve into the Society's substantial collection of historic records and its extensive photo collection.
Facilities:
Besides the Observer Building that houses the museum and society's headquarters, the Dover-Foxcroft Historical Society operates the Blacksmith Shop Museum, built in 1863 by Nicholas A. Chandler.
The museum retains much of its original equipment including forge, ox-lifter, anvil and other tools. In addition, the museum has a collection of agricultural and rural tools and material.
Both buildings are on the National Register of Historic Places.
The Observer Building's unique prow-shaped roof was reportedly built by ships' carpenters imported especially from the coast of Maine to make the building fit its small, flat-iron shaped lot.
