Order a Circa Sign for Your Home! New! Have you wondered how old your house is, or who built it? When you order a sign, we research the history of the house to confirm the date of construction and who built it (and will share what we learn). Signs can be created for houses of any age or vintage. The signs are 24x8" and made of low-maintenance Azek polymer which is moisture, rot, and insect resistant and laminated with a UV protective coating. Signs are $150. For a modest fee of $25, we will install the sign. Click here to order a sign and here to include installation. |

Museum Hours
Summer (May-October)
The Museum and Barn at 60 Woods Road in Falmouth is open 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on most Tuesdays, or by appointment.
Winter (October-May)
The Museum is closed due to the high cost of utilities and maintenance for a 19th-century house during a Maine winter. Safety of our visitors and volunteers is a concern—despite our best efforts to clear snow and ice, the area around the steps is often treacherous.
