Mechanics' Hall has served as a place of comfort and inspiration in both ordinary and extraordinary times. Designed by Maine's first architect, Thomas Sparrow, it is a vibrant monument to tradespeople, artisans, and creators; to writers and readers, musicians and dancers, and makers who have found and built a community here. Help ensure our bright future with a year-end donation.


"Mechanics' Hall is emerging as one of the very best venues in the state for community events that celebrate creativity and innovation. Full of warmth, history, and the thrill of possibility, it is something to be treasured and supported.”

-Lily King, author

"I feel incredibly lucky to dance at Mechanics' Hall, a place that has held swing music between its walls for a century and to share it with such a sweet community of people."

-Gillian Davis, The Portland Swing Project


Now more than ever, we need to look to our history for courage, comfort, and inspiration.
