LIVERMORE FALLS – It’s anticipated to be the biggest history night yet to hit the downtown area, and it keeps growing. Anyone interested in displaying pieces of history or helping out is welcome to do so.

The third annual event will take people back in time again to learn the history of the people, the area, the railroad, the paper and paper industry, among other highlights.

The history night will run from 3 to 8 on Friday, May 25, with live music playing at the gazebo starting about 2, organizer Kenny Jacques of Livermore Falls said.

Cruise night will take place in the heart of the downtown along Main and Depot streets, with the roads blocked off to allow the crowd to peruse vehicles from the 1960s and older.

There will be cars, trucks and motorcycles.

“It’s not a show, it’s a cruise night,” Jacques said.

Anyone with an older-style vehicle is invited to take part, to park for an hour or for the whole time period, he said.

The vehicles have been a hit in the past, Jacques said.

Barry Wood of Jay has scheduled music to be played at the gazebo, and Jacques said, he believes all slots are filled.

Among the performers will be Wood and the Old Crow Band.

The Livermore-Livermore Falls Historical Society will present the history of the railroad in the area, with Lew Lyman at the helm.

The Washburn-Norlands Living History Center will also put on a display, but Jacques said, he wasn’t sure what it would be yet.

They’re also hoping to get the Maine Paper and Heritage Museum to set up displays, as they have done in the past, that highlight the pulp and paper industry in the area.

Roger Perreault of Jay will display his collection of dairy bottles, and there will be a veterans display at Union Park, organized by American Legion Commander Normand Chabot.

About 1,000 people attended the event the first year; an estimated 1,500 people attended last year.

“We’re hoping for 2,000 people this year,” Jacques said. “It’s going to be bigger than ever.”

The Chuck Wagon Restaurant, which celebrates 40 years this year, will be doing hamburgers and hot dogs on the grill, Jacques said.

There are plenty of food vendors as well, he said.
