You might want to take a tour of the Poland Spring Bottling Museum just off Route 26. Completed in 1907, the original spring house and bottling plant feature marble walls, steps and pillars. “No expense was spared,” Community Relations Manager Heather Printup said during a recent tour. The plant and spring house comprise one of three museums in Poland Spring Preservation Park. The others are All Souls Chapel and the Maine State Building, which was bought from the state and moved to Poland Spring from the Chicago World’s Fair in 1894. The exhibit is a “big educational” draw for summer campers and local schoolchildren on field trips. It’s also a tourist destination.
