About the First Amendment Museum
The mission of the First Amendment Museum at the Gannett House is to examine the history and promote the practice and understanding of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. The Gannett family’s local, state, and national involvement in such history and practice will set the stage for the examination of these freedoms around the world.
The museum is repurposing the home of Maine newspaper publisher Guy P. Gannett as an interactive First Amendment museum honoring the Gannett family legacy.
