Help Restore the Excelsior!

The Lincolnville Museum and Cultural Center in the past five years has worked diligently to restore the interior spaces, develop heritage exhibits and is working on a National Park Service grant to preserve the historic structure from further decay.  The LMCC transitioned from a volunteer organization in 2018 with the help of a capacity building grant from the Institute of Museums and Library Services (IMLS) which ended recently.  The LMCC continues to build a stronger voice for Lincolnville and St. Augustine’s Black history.
