HistoryAlthough Museum L-A was founded in 1996, our doors opened in 2004 to showcase the hard work, grit, and ingenuity of our local mill workers, shoe workers, and brick makers who founded the cities of Lewiston and Auburn, Maine. In addition to featuring the machines and tools used in these trade industries, we tell the stories of the people who worked so hard to make our communities what they are today.SpecialtiesMuseum L-A is a Museum of Work and Community whose mission is to connect generations and cultures, foster a spirit of discovery and human ingenuity, and help people experience the rich history and heritage of work, the arts and community. One can learn about and see artifacts of the textile, shoe and brick industries as well as hear about the new immigrants and waterpower and canal systems.
