Additional Property Attributes

The Site is part of the historical Portland to Lewiston Interurban electric railway that ceased operation in 1933. The railroad right of way still exists and is currently in use as a snowmobile trail. The Maine Narrow Gauge Railroad museum, currently located in Portland, is purchasing 1.5 miles of the right of way and and adjoining parcel of land to construct a new museum and reconstruct a section of narrow gauge railway as a historical amusement.

Former Use: The "Museum Parcel" of the Site and the surrounding area to the east and south were undeveloped until approximately 1970. The surrounding area to the west and north of the Site was developed as part of Gray�s downtown village since the 1800s. Historical ownership indicates the Site was used as farmland in the 1960s. The earliest development of the Site as farmland is not known from reasonably ascertainable sources. By 1970, the area north of the Site had been cleared and prepped for construction, and by 1973 a portion of the adjoining Gray Plaza had been constructed to the north. By 1991, the adjoining plaza reached its current configuration. The Site and surrounding area have remained relatively unchanged since 1991. The only evidence of Site modification is an apparent drainage related channel, which was constructed in 2009 or 2010. The drainage channel appears to originate from the Gray Plaza parking lot and extends to the south onto the Site. The railroad Right of Way (ROW) portion of the Site is bordered by 27 privately owned parcels and bisects several. The ROW was originally an undeveloped part of the area known as Gray Meadow. W. Scott Libbey and Henry W. Wingley created the Portland, Gray & Lewiston Railroad in 1909 and construction of the ROW, power line, and tracks began in approximately 1910. The Portland, Gray & Lewiston Railroad made its maiden voyage on July 7, 1914, and on July 10 became the Portland-Lewiston Interurban Railway. On October 23, 1914, the Androscoggin Electrical Company was created and acquired the Portland-Lewiston Interurban Railway.
