Author Bill Geller and Ambejejus Boomhouse Museum Curator Chuck Harris will be on hand to discuss logging industry after the last log drive on the Penobscot River.  Learn more here.  

​

The historical society has a large collection of items from the paper industry.  Highlighted will be our collection of photographs to be shown at the Boreal Theater from noon to 3 pm. 

​

Great Northern art is a much larger collection than you would think.  The historical society will be showing works by Bill Grumley, Doug Kanes, and many others. 

​

A special reception for women who worked in the mill, offices, or other departments in GNP will be at the Millinocket Memorial Library at 2 pm.  Join us to recognize their contributions to the workplace, our communities and our families.

Our weekly column from the museum curator, Trudy Wyman is a favorite of Millinocket history fans far and wide! The column is published in the Lincoln News, on our Facebook page, and here on our website.

 

It's a great mix of stories from our past, interesting items on display in the museum, and memories of the people and businesses that once graced our hometown's streets.  â€‹

Remember the past.
