New
Project: Heritage Walkway
Help us bring back the beautiful sun porch and
build a handicap accessible entrance into the
design of the museum.
A new walkway will provide
a safe and inviting entrance from Church Street
and the parking area. Money raised from this
fund raiser will allow us to receive some matching
grants.
How can you participate? Purchase
a stone paver for the walkway online by clicking
this link. You
can buy one or more for your parents, and family
members and become permanently associated with
our museum. Each personalized, inscribed paver
will be a visible part of the walkway. All
proceeds raised from this program will go toward
the restoration of this beautiful home.
Help us create a walkway filled with
memories with the purchase of an engraved paver.
Gifts Certificates are available.
When you order a paver you will receive a certificate
in the mail to give for Christmas.
PLEASE NOTE: Because all
the pavers will be ordered at the same time
(for the actual paving of the walkway) they
will not be available until Spring.
Prices range from $30 to $75 per paver.
To order call Otis Federal Credit Union at
897-0900 or Claire at 897-3514 or Sherry at
897-3117. Or

About
the Western Maine Paper and Heritage Museum
In 2002, a group of people
dedicated to preserving the history of the
paper industry in Maine came
together to establish Maine's
Paper & Heritage Museum, with
the common goal of capturing the cultural heritage
of the paper-making towns and mills along the
Androscoggin River . Its mission is to create
an exciting interactive museum where visitors
can experience life in a paper-making community,
as well as to encourage tourism, increase economic
activity and showcase the area's distinctive
heritage.
The Paper Museum has a fundraising documentary.
"Along the Androscoggin" Is
a 20 minute video about the paper industry and
the communities along the Androscoggin River.
If you wish to purchase a DVD call Sherry Judd,
207-592-1807.

Phase Two is being developed to include papermaking

Phase Two and Three will include video and audio
histories of community members of various generations
and ethnic backgrounds. |
