For more than 150 years, the
four buildings that
comprise The Brick Store Museum's Main Street facade
have been a distinctive part of
the Kennebunks’ commercial
landscape. In fact, prior to the
Museum’s founding in 1936 in
what was once a dry goods store,
the museum block had contained
such things as a telegraph office,
rooming house, restaurant, library,
grocery store, and automotive
repair shop.
All this is to say that while our
towns have seen dramatic changes
over the years, the constant
remains that we are all today
making a mark in our community’s
story of commerce. The Museum
is the steward of hundreds of
photographs, documents, and
artifacts that record our area’s
business heritage from the
earliest days to the present.
Regardless of whether
a business has been around for
a few months or a few generations,
it plays a key role in the fabric of
our community and has a
story worth preserving.
The Museum remains very
appreciative of the general
support from local businesses, and
there are many more who would
likely become new supporters of
the Museum if only asked…
So, won’t you join the Museum
as a proud Business Partner?
