DescriptionWelcome to the Farmington Baptist Conference Center: your camping and conference center in Central Maine. The location is serene, and the concept is unique: a rustic camp setting that is adaptable for your specific program needs. In 1986 the Maine Baptist Association in partnership with the New Hampshire Baptist Association assumed ownership of 52 acres of farmland on the Sandy River in Farmington, Maine. At the time of this acquisition an old colonial home was the centerpiece of a property that also included an attached shed and carriage house along with a detached barn and country store. The old colonial home was built in 1790 by Moses Chandler, a veteran of the Revolutionary War and an officer under George Washington. The property was subsequently owned by descendants of Moses Chandler including a Dr. Mary Cushman, a medical doctor and missionary to Africa. When the general store was renovated and converted to a church sanctuary the building was renamed Cushman Chapel in recognition of her years of Christian service. The colonial home, known to local historians as the Moses Chandler House, has eight rooms, five working fireplaces and has been painstakingly restored by Earl and Carole Edgerly who not only reside in the old home but are also co-directors of the Conference Center. Earl is also pastor of the Farmington Baptist Church (SBC) which meets in a building they built on a ten acre lot that the Center deeded to Farmington Baptist Church in 1997. Details
