LEWISTON — In the of spirit giving, Dollard and Priscilla Gendron of Lewiston presented the second installment of their $100,000 pledge to Museum L-A — a check for $50,000 — to the museum’s executive director, Rachel Desgrosseilliers. The donation will help the museum pursue plans to renovate and eventually move into the former Camden Yarns Mill on Beech Street.
“We feel that Museum L-A is very important for our community,” noted Del Gendron.
“My family is fortunate to have the financial ability to make contributions like this one to Museum L-A because of our hard work and dedication over many years. We do this because we believe in giving back to our communities and we hope to inspire others to make a difference by investing in their communities, too.”
The Gendrons are a prominent local family whose business has been a significant part of Lewiston, Auburn and surrounding communities as contractors, real estate developers, convenience store/gas station owners and much more, growing their businesses through determination and hard work.
“The Gendron Family has been a major supporter of Museum L-A for many years,” said Desgrosseilliers. “It is because of their generosity, along with the contributions of many other individuals and businesses, that Museum L-A has become a destination that serves as an experience of community and tourism in Lewiston-Auburn. We are honored they choose to support us and want to encourage others to give back to their community.” Museum L-A is open Tuesday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Bates Mill Complex, 35 Canal St.
Special tour requests and large group tours outside of these hours are available by appointment. For more information, please contact info@museumla.org or call 207-333-3881.
