Help preserve the stories of your family’s past

The history of Maine’s paper industry lives on through the memories of the people and communities it touched. A story passed down through a family, a photograph tucked away in an album, a memory of life in a paper town, or a firsthand experience at the mill can all help preserve a piece of that history.

If you have a story to tell, please fill out the form below. The museum would be honored to help preserve it!
