Moisture control with rubble foundation

We have a very old farm house in Maine that has a 24X48 basement with a rubble foundation. The ceiling is just about 6', so it's a bit short, and not the best space for any use. Half has a rough, unsealed, but intact cement slab. The other half is just dirt. We have four small windows, that can be utilized as vents. There are two, brick chimney arches.

The humidity down there averages about 85%.

The house inspectors recommended installing a vapor barrier, and am starting to look into that...
