The Maine Educational Center for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing is located on Mackworth Island in Falmouth, Maine, just three miles northeast of Portland, Maine’s largest city.
Deeded to the state by the late Governor Percival Baxter, Mackworth Island has been the home of Maine’s only residential school for the deaf since 1957. The island is connected to the mainland by a 1,000-foot causeway and offers a 1.25-mile walking trail along its coastline, which provides expansive views of Casco Bay, its islands, the coastal mainland, and lighthouses.
