The Maine Military Museum is expanding into the half of the building formerly occupied by the local VFW post.
In addition to adding exhibition space, expansion plans include a snack bar, a library, and a museum store.

We have digitized some stereo images from World War I and made them available as both regular images and simulated 3D images. Each of the images is accompanied by a full description of the scene or event.

In an excerpt of his video “God, Country and Family” Captain  Richard “Moon” Mullen describes his capture and the torture to which he was subjected.

We have completed our new website layout and are now adding more content. We have started adding more uniforms and helmets, but the biggest changes are coming to our POW content. Comments about our website are always welcome.

Thank you to WGME TV 13 in Portland, Maine for the story about our museum. The video is available on our web site here.

We have started a new section of the web site currently titled “Life After Captivity”.

We have added a new section containing books about POWs and prisons. Our first two books are available as PDF image files.

The Maine Military Museum has been honored with a hood and fender. Look for it at the races!

The museum will be open on Memorial Day, Monday, May 30, 2016 and will dedicate the new Vietnam War in-country section of the museum. All veterans and non-veterans are welcome to attend.

We are collecting our various POW exhibits on one page to help visitors find information and to better communicate the POW story. The museum’s POW collections are continuing to grow and we will continue to add to the online content.
