Our spring school season has come to a close. Between April and mid-June, about 2,500 students from across Maine visited the museum to connect with veterans, explore our historic collection, and discover the work of preserving history through hands-on learning. We are grateful to all the students, teachers, chaperones, veterans, and volunteers who spent time with us this spring!

We now look forward to an exciting summer and fall calendar filled with special events, programs, and community celebrations at Cole Land Transportation Museum.

An exciting summer opportunity to share with our military community members here in Maine!

Please join us in welcoming Torie Cronk as our new Museum Education Coordinator!

Torie previously served as Outreach Manager at the Seal Cove Auto Museum, where she led a comprehensive redesign of educational programming while also overseeing events and marketing initiatives. In recognition of her work, she received a NAAMY Award—an honor presented by the National Association of Automobile Museums for excellence in museum programming and innovation. Prior to her work in the museum field, Torie spent eight years as an elementary educator in the Ellsworth area.

In her new role, Torie is focused on enhancing and expanding educational offerings at the Museum while maintaining the strength of its established Veteran Interview and Junior Curator programs. As the spouse of an Army veteran, she feels a deep personal connection to the museum’s mission.

We are thrilled to have Torie on board, and look forward to her educational innovations and as we continue to grow and connect with our schools and community!

Thank you to everyone who joined us yesterday at the Cole Land Transportation Museum for our Memorial Day Service and took the time to pause, reflect, and honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Your presence helped make the day a meaningful tribute to those who gave everything in defense of our freedoms. A special thank you to Colonel Byron Newell, Wing Commander of the 101st Air Refueling Wing, Maine Air National Guard, for serving as our guest speaker and for sharing such thoughtful and inspiring remarks with our community.

Our Memorial Day events at the museum are still taking place as planned. The Bangor Band will begin performing at 12:00 p.m., followed by the formal Memorial Day Service at 12:30 p.m. We hope you will join us as we gather to honor and remember those who gave their lives in service to our country.

Throwback to Memorial Day 2000 in Downtown Bangor

More than two decades ago, hundreds of World War II veterans proudly marched through the streets of Bangor carrying their walking sticks, representing service, sacrifice, and a generation that shaped our nation.

This Memorial Day, we invite veterans once again to walk with the Cole Land Transportation Museum in the Bangor Memorial Day Parade.

Veterans interested in joining us are encouraged to bring their walking stick to receive their parade sticker and walk alongside fellow veterans as we continue this meaningful tradition together.
