Monday, July 20th, 2026 6:00 PM
Come join us for a presentation on the Poland Spring Resort, It’s stories, Guests and Facilities at the West Paris Historical Society 221 Main St. West Paris, ME.
Guest Speaker Laura Brown from the Poland Spring Museums will tell stories about the facilities and its guests. Poland Spring Resort has a legendary place in the history of Maine dating back to 1794. A 5,000 acre resort attracted vacationers who were the economic and social elite of the country. The Ricker family purchased the Maine State Building of the 1893 Columbian Exposition, dismantled it, and rebuilt it at Poland Spring. Other features are the golf course, the Chapel, and of course the bottling plant. Light refreshments will be served. Parking available behind the West Paris Library.
