What makes our Union Meeting House so special?

Our beautiful newly renovated historic building is a perfect venue for weddings, recitals, memorial services, and lectures.  Get in touch today to arrange your tour.

The Meeting House can accommodate up to 250 people.  The facility is ADA compliant and handicap accessible.

In the past, the Union Meeting House has been host to Humorist Tim Sample, the “Old Cop Guys” John Ford and Mark Nickerson, and a political forum. In the summer, the Board holds its annual Open Houses. Community organizations utilize the meeting house for its prominent location for events of their own throughout the year.

Historically, the UMH was the backdrop to the town’s live nativity scene.  This inter-denominational event began in 1967 and was held yearly on the Friday and Saturday prior to Christmas. The streetlights are shut off, Main Street was closed in front of the Meeting House, and local children and farm animals play the parts. The narrator told the story of Jesus’ birth and the audience participated in the musical ensemble.  In the end, the audience gathered around the manger and sang “Away in a Manger”.

The pageant received the 2016 Spirit of America Foundation Tribute “for admirable efforts in providing a yearly tradition to our community through the hard work of dedicated volunteers”. This Maine honor is awarded to local individuals, organizations, and projects for commendable community service.

This tradition has since been replaced with an equally community-focused tree lighting celebration with food, fun, and festivities for all ages.
