The Limington Historical Society was founded in 1976. Today, it has headquarters on Joe Webster Road off Route 11, or Sokosis Road. The property consists of an acre of land with a barn. The barn has electricity and plumbing. On the site, as well. is the relocated small wooden library building that was the town's first library. There are state highway signs that offer directions from Route 25. The society is the repository of many fine artifacts. Included are a number of farm wagons, the town's horse-drawn hearse, a snow roller and a make and break engine. There is a wall covered by a representation of the Saco River. The accompanying photos and written materials are on loan from the York Institute in Saco. They were part of the White Pine on the Saco exhibit and show the important part that the town of Limington played in the days of the log drives. There are many photo albums and scrapbooks that have been given to us.

Historic preservation is gaining recognition in Maine. Limington is fortunate to have a start in the right direction. First, we learn to recognize, then with education, appreciate. I speak for the historical society's purpose. Thoughtfully donated written materials (such as recently given by Robert Taylor's widow, Rose and many others) are carefully held records of the past. One of the missions and responsibilities of the society is to accept and makes these available to anyone that wants to have a look at history.
