The Loring Military Heritage Center |
|
We are the Loring Heritage Center and we are located at 131 Cupp Road, in Limestone Maine on the former Loring Air Force Base which is now called The Loring Commerce Center. We are a Federally Registered Non-Profit Organization with the Internal Revenue Service under Section 501© 3. We applied in the Summer of 2005 to the Loring Commerce Center for a building on base to open a Center and our request was granted, nevertheless, we still have to pay for insurance, fuel, water and electricity along with several quarterly and annual fees, plus building upkeep. To protect our displays, the building must be heated during the Winter here in Northern Maine, as you know, and fuel cost is a large expense. Our Center is located in the former bank building and we have items on display from the year 1948 when Loring Air Force Base was first built, to 1994 when the base was officaially closed. The populations served is former Loring Air Force Base military personnel, their spouses and dependents and civilians who worked on the base as Civil Servants. Most of our display items are mainly donated and represent the 42 nd Bombardment Wing (host wing) and the numerous other squadrons that supported it |

The Loring Military Heritage Center took advantage of the city wide as one of it's own members donated his home to provide an in town location to sell donated items to create an expense free fund raiser. Many members donated their time to help setup, work and take down the items that were donated for sale. All in all the yard sale was a success!!! |
