   MoreLaura Fecych Sprague, an independent museum curator, was first associated with the collections at Tate House in 1980 and has worked often on the Museum's behalf in the intervening years. Tate House Museum hired her as the consulting curator in March 2010. A scholar of the material culture, the decorative arts and interiors in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Maine, Laura Sprague has published extensively, including the landmark Agreeable Situations: Society, Commerce and Art in Southern Maine, 1780-1830 (Kennebunk, Me.: The Brick Store Museum, 1987). She oversaw the 2000-2002 centennial restoration of the Wadsworth-Longfellow House at the Maine Historical Society in Portland.

Her clients for exhibitions and publications include the Brick Store Museum Maine Historical Society, Portland Museum of Art, and Maine State Museum.
