LIVERMORE FALLS – Paper and Heritage Museum representatives are again looking for a place to build the museum that will preserve the history of the industry.

Livermore Falls voters agreed to donate about 2 acres on Foundry Road in June for the project, but too much of that land turned out to be in the flood plain and not a good place to build a museum, Town Manager Martin Puckett said.

So he is again working with the museum committee to try and find a place for the museum to be built, he said.

People interested in the history of papermaking in Western Maine began working in 2002 to record and preserve that history. The group has been raising money to buy preservation materials and already has collected some items.

Puckett had said previously that the museum would be a tourist attraction and entice people to the area.

Once the museum is built, it would be the first museum in Maine that would target preserving and showcasing the history of the pulp and paper industry.
