Facilities
The historic buildings of Laudholm Farm are used by the Wells Reserve for several purposes.
The main farmhouse holds a Visitor Center with exhibits (open weekdays - and weekends from Memorial Day through Columbus Day) and staff offices. The horse barn is used for special events, education activities, and storage. The cow barn holds an auditorium and library.
The modern Maine Coastal Ecology Center, which opened in 2001, includes a research laboratory, teaching laboratory, exhibits, and offices.
The Alheim Commons, on an adjacent part of the Wells Reserve property, provides dormitory facilities for scientists, educators, and land managers working at the reserve or with its partners.
