LIVERMORE FALLS — Yellow and gold decorative papers will be featured Saturday at the first Cabin Fever Fair sponsored by Maine’s Paper & Heritage Museum.

Visitors will be able to view to an assortment of products made by area paper mills through the years, including scrap books, origami, colorful flowers, decorations, stamps and postcards. There will be an assortment of current-day crafts.

Visitors will also be able to purchase silk and fresh flowers.

The fair will be open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on March 24 at Murray Hall on Main Street. Lunch items will be sold at noon.

A silent auction will end at 2 p.m. when winning bids will be announced. Adult admission is $2; children are free. Visitors will be able to sit at a table and make a paper crafts themselves.

Proceeds will enable the Paper Museum at 22 Church St. in Livermore Falls to stay open later in the fall and earlier in the spring. Now it is open the warm months of June through October. A heat fund has been started.

Massive tons of paper have been made in area mills for over 100 years. Some of the earliest pulp was made at Alvin Record’s leather-board factory, making hard cardboard for hardbound books.

Hugh Chisholm bought a small pulp mill on the Livermore side of the river and produced “healthy paper” — it did not contain Egypt mummy wrappings like other papers in Portland. Some of the uses include milk caps, ice cream boxes and fresh-meat wrappers.

Alvin Record enlarged his business upstream at Jay Village. Hugh Chisholm did likewise and bought the Otis saw mill in present-day Chisholm. Here, newsprint, wallpaper, carbonless paper and specialty papers were made. Visitors can take home a piece of Otis paper on Saturday. Four by 6-foot paper made 15 years ago will decorate the Murray Hall walls.

Wallpapers through the years will be on display, old and new, to celebrate Otis Mill producing 80 percent of the American supply.

A display of magazines will also be shared to illustrate the coated papers made at Otis and Androscoggin mills.
