A Collaborative Effort

We’re here for you and we hear you!

Biddeford Cultural and Heritage Center is working hard to be an inclusive organization for all within the community wishing to celebrate, share, teach and preserve the history, culture, diversity and heritage of the City of Biddeford, its people and surrounding areas.

A cultural and heritage center has been the dream of many people throughout the years, but instead of just dreaming, we are working hard to make this a reality. Working together, we can do it as a community.

Biddeford is a thriving community with a variety of ethnic cultures and diversity. It’s growing, changing and progressive, but much of the history and heritage is being lost, not shared, as the culture changes.

Now is the time to share, preserve, teach and celebrate all that makes Biddeford, its people and surrounding areas, so special.

Now is the time to save what is being lost, share with others. Now is our time and together we are doing it! It’s no longer “someday” or “maybe” or “if”, it’s now “when”, “soon” and “we’ll get it done”.

We hope you all join us on this journey and be an active part of our history and heritage, not another ” someday” or ” I wish” bystander.”

Thank you for your continued support!
