ABOUT US
Before you complete your Museum journey, you will learn how the
Rangeley Lakes Region Historical Society is working in partnership
with the Rangeley Region Guides’ & Sportsmen’s Association, the
Rangeley Scenic Byway, Maine Department Inland Fisheries & Wildlife
and the Rangeley Lakes Heritage Trust to honor our past and help
insure our future.
By establishing the Outdoor Sporting Heritage Museum the Rangeley
Lakes Heritage Society is pursuing its mission "to discover, identify,
collect, preserve and interpret artifacts, printed material and
original historical records which document the history and traditions
of the region and its people." Over the past 50 years the Historical
Society has acquired some major and important historical collections
of general interest that will continue to be displayed at its museum
on Main Street in Rangeley. The new Outdoor Sporting Heritage Museum
in the nearby village of Oquossoc will afford the opportunity to focus
on the region's rich outdoor sporting history by working with its
partners in this venture.
The Rangeley Region Guides’ & Sportsmen’s Association is dedicated to
protecting and enhancing the region’s fisheries and wildlife through
stream restoration, the Junior Guides Program, hunter safety and
archery courses, teaching fly tying and fly casting and protecting
sportsmen’s rights.
The Rangeley Lakes Heritage Trust protects over 11,000 acres and more
than 35 miles of shoreline in the Rangeley Lakes region. As good
stewards, the RLHT’s mission is “the permanent protection of
significant natural resources of the Rangeley lakes region for the
benefit and enjoyment of the public and future generations.”
Now you
can join this partnership with your tax-exempt
donation to the capital
building fund or to our collections.
Nestled between the arching spruce and fir, in the midst of some of
the finest brook trout and salmon fishing anywhere, the Outdoor
Sporting Heritage Museum is located on two acres in the center of
Rangeley’s village of Oquossoc. The Museum not only honors our past,
but it is a gateway to the region’s exciting outdoors experience and
its future.
