What is this place?
The Cumberland Centre is a place to learn through doing, benefitting members of the public who participate in the activities of nonprofit organizations. Founded with a focus on historical education and re-creation, we have developed our facilities with those types of activities in mind, keeping an eye toward enhancing the site's natural beauty and creating an air of timeless charm.

While our main focus is historical, we currently serve a wide range of other organizations by providing low cost meeting, activity, and "primitive" camping facilities, allowing those organizations to focus more resources on their programmatic needs. Our facilities are available for use by nonprofit groups such as Scouts, church groups, community theater organizations, etc. The Centre is a 50-acre event site with wide open fields, beautiful cedar woodlands for shady summer camping, a large dining hall with kitchen facilities and restrooms with showers, and a ring of Lombardy Poplars surrounding a group of standing stones reminiscent of Stonehenge. A formal medieval garden is currently being constructed, and we are beginning to collect books for a planned historical research library.

Our wide open fields are perfect for kite flying, stargazing, or reenacting historical battles. The cedar woods can be an exciting place for children to camp, and can also be perfect for an afternoon of quiet contemplation. The main hall can accommodate several hundred people for meetings, classes, dancing, or any other indoor activity.

If your Scout troop needs a great place to camp, your church is considering a rustic retreat, or your favorite knights need a place to joust, we invite you to think of the Cumberland Centre as your site of choice.
