Excellent! This is great publicity for the museum. Question: are there parades in other nearby communities during the summer?

Nice photo on the news lead page for the Wiscasset Newspaper.  I assume this also appeared in the print edition.

Also noticed the following in last week's Free Press related to the parade and other Lincoln County 250th Anniversary events:

"On Sunday, tickets at the WW&F Railroad Museum, on Cross Street in Alna, will be half-price for residents of Lincoln County. The museum is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m."

Nice job to whoever came up with the idea.  Did the museum get many visitors from the promotion?
