Green Acre (The venue)

Green Acre Baha’i School in Eliot, Maine, is a significant spot in the United States of America, especially for Baha’is both historically and currently. Founded by Sarah Farmer to foster peace and religious unity, Green Acre began in 1894, pioneering the model of an inclusive conference center. Presently, it is an environment where people come for a spiritually uplifting experience and programming in line with the teachings of Bahá’u’lláh.

The atmosphere is intended to foster unity, reflection, and learning. As such, both in compliance with civil law and principles of Bahá’í administration, it has certain rules, which the Arzú-Pantalone family kindly and firmly ask that all guests follow.
