Maine Museum of Innovation, Learning and Labor (Maine MILL) is a history and culture museum, and as such we are working with the City of Lewiston, the Lewiston-Auburn Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce, and artist Tanja Hollander to collect memorial items (such as candles, Lewiston Strong signage, posters, hearts, love letters to family and friends, and more) following the tragic mass shooting that occurred in Lewiston on October 25, 2023. Maine MILL we be documenting, archiving and displaying these items inside the museum in a memorial.

Community members are asked to share items with the museum either by dropping them off during public hours (Wednesday through Saturday, 10am-4pm) or emailing info@mainemill.org to coordinate a better time for pickup.
