 Capital Campaign
Farmington's history needs your help!  Purchasing The Octagon and restoring it, as well as finishing the North Church as a history and community center are the center of this year's capital campaign.
The Octagon is a National Register Historic landmark and located in the downtown's National Historic District. The North Church is just 150 ft. away, making this a very unique opportunity.

We are a non-profit 501(c)3 organization.
