  • Wonderful collection and great documentation. This is a must see for all ages. A step back in time with amazing restorations.

  • This is such an interesting place, & we loved it! If you’re in the area, we believe you’ll find it to be well worth a visit.

  • If you are in Bangor I would recommend stopping in. The cool thing before we even started looking, they give free walking sticks to combat era vets, so both my spouse and I received one. Also, they have clipboards listed easy, medium and hard with pictures on them to have a scavenger hunt for items around the whole museum. Our 11 year took a medium one and she found everything, she loved doing it. We also took one and it added to the overall experience. The 2 sections I really enjoyed were the fire department aisles and the military section of a few vehicles and artifacts dating from the Civil War to Desert Storm. Worth the stop!
  • Amazing collection of all kinds of land based transportation machines from huge road snow blowers to sleds and sleighs to toboggans. You'll see the evolution of delivery trucks from horse drawn to modern 18 wheelers. They have a fine collection of fire trucks from horse drawn to the more modern. They have rail cars and a diesel locomotive. There is an extensive military memorabilia display. There are restored cars dating from the 1920's up. This is a must see museum for all ages.
