Westbrook Seminary: Educating Women

Westbrook Seminary served an important function in admitting women students, for whom education was less available in the early and mid nineteenth century.

Maine Medical Center, Bramhall Campus
Maine Medical Center, founded as Maine General Hospital, has dominated Portland’s West End since its construction in 1871 on Bramhall Hill. As the medical field grew in both technological and social practice, the facility of the hospital also changed. This exhibit tracks the expansion and additions to that original building as the hospital adapted to its patients’ needs.
