Our Mission


Our Mission


To promote community life in the village of Otter Creek, Maine through education and activities, to preserve and protect the historic Otter Creek Hall, and to perpetuate the history and cultural heritage of the village.

The Aid Society of Otter Creek, Maine was founded over a century ago by dedicated community members who joined together to address local needs and to foster communal support. Since then, generations of residents and visitors have continued this tradition, working cooperatively to preserve, celebrate, and share the unique history and heritage of Otter Creek with one another and with those who come to learn about our village.

Today, the Society proudly cares for cherished heritage community landmarks in Otter Creek, including The Hall, The Veterans Memorial, and the Fish House and adjoining Fish House lots. We lovingly maintain and protect these places that represent both our shared history and our hopes for the future as a thriving village community. Please join us in supporting and celebrating them!
