Annual Meeting coming up in May! - 

May 13 is the date for this year's annual meeting. Remember that our membership year runs from Sept. 1 to August 31, so we hold elections for the following year in May. To see the nominations for next year's board, click on "Events" at the top of this page. We are still looking for members at large to serve on the board, so please email us if you would like to learn more.

We will also be voting on changes to our bylaws. Please see the proposed changes (marked in red) by clicking here. We are changing the bylaws to make board terms all one-year commitments (they were two-years) and to allow for more members to the board.

CEHPS needs YOU!

The Cape Elizabeth Historical Preservation Society is seeking volunteer greeters for the 2025 season of the Fort Williams and Cape Elizabeth Town Museums, both located in the Bachelor Officers’ Quarters at Fort Williams. Greeters welcome visitors, orient them to the various displays, and answer questions. Training is provided. This is a fun way to be involved in the local community. Greeters are asked to commit to one or two shifts each month. Shifts are two to four hours. Starting in the spring, the Fort Williams Museum and Cape Elizabeth History Center will be open on Mondays and Thursdays from 9 AM to 12 noon, and on Saturdays and Sundays from 11 AM to 3 PM. Anyone who is interested can stop by for more information during open hours or send an email indicating their interest along with contact information to cehps@capeelizabeth.org.
