overview : In 1889 GEORGE W. HINCKLEY founded his Good Will Home for children in an old farm house overlooking the Kennebec River. Mr. Hinckley was so successful in making his vision become reality that the original property grew to become a village comprised of schools, cottages, libraries, a chapel, farms and a museum.

collections : collections are housed in twelve light filled rooms of impressive proportions. Many of the birds and animals are displayed in their natural habitats with painted backgrounds by Mr. Charles Hubbard, a well known American Impressionist artist.

topics : natural history, anthropology
