Historical Society Director – Bar Harbor Historical Society

Founded in 1945, the Bar Harbor Historical Society (BHHS) was formed to collect and preserve the history of Bar Harbor. Having recently purchased a magnificent estate, LaRochelle, an outstanding historic shoreside mansion built in 1902, the BHHS now seeks to hire its first professional full-time staff member.

The new Executive Director will have the unique opportunity to work with the BHHS Board of Directors, curator and volunteers to develop a new museum at LaRochelle, guide the organization into its next phase, and create what will become a center of Bar Harbor’s history, art, and culture.
