ABOUT US
Poland Spring Preservation Society was
founded in 1976 as a result of the vision of Jim Aikman. Jim was a news director
for WMTW, which at the time was in the basement of the Presidential Inn. After
the disastrous fire that consumed the Poland Spring House and witnessing the
years of neglect of the historic property – Jim brought together like minded
individuals who would be interested in preserving what was left. In 1977, Saul
Feldman, the owner of the Poland Spring Resort, gave the Preservation Society
ownership of the Maine State Building and All Souls Chapel.
The Society is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit
organization that is dedicated to the preservation of the Maine State Building
and All Souls Chapel in Poland Spring, both listed on the National Registry of
Historic Places. The Society's other objectives include offering educational
programming for school children and the general public, preserving the rich
heritage of Poland Spring, providing low cost entertainment to the community
through their annual summer concert series, art shows and other programming
activities as well as creating opportunities for the engagement and
collaboration of individuals from various backgrounds and generations.
The Society operations are directed by a
fifteen member volunteer board and several staff members.
