About Joshua L. Chamberlain Museum

This historic house in Brunswick was home to Joshua Chamberlain, his wife Fannie, and their children for more than fifty years. Pejepscot History Center bought the building in 1983 to keep it from demolition. It now operates as a house museum that tells the Chamberlain family story and the history of the building itself, placed within wider state and national events. Restoration work aims to return rooms to how they looked when the Chamberlains lived there.
