The Frances Perkins Center in Damariscotta, ME is dedicated to honoring and preserving the legacy of Frances Perkins, the woman behind the New Deal. As FDR's Secretary of Labor and the first woman to serve as a cabinet secretary, Perkins was the driving force behind the New Deal and championed reforms that continue to impact American society today.
The center offers programs, events, and internships to educate and engage the public in learning more about Perkins' life and her commitment to the principle that government should provide all its people with the best possible life. The Frances Perkins Homestead, a National Historic Landmark, serves as a tangible reminder of Perkins' vision for America as a vast homestead for all its people, where concern for the common good governs our life together.
