The Bangor Historical Society is looking to purchase its museum Museum on West Monroe Street. The society tells us it’s had a generous landlord for years, but now, the landlord would like to sell the building in the next year. So, that means the museum will have to purchase the building or move. Bob Emmert, president of the museum, spoke with WSJM News about the issue.

“The historical society would like to buy the building,” Emmert said. “He wants $100,000 for it. He’s sunk much more than that into it in the last couple of years renovating it. Right now, we are undergoing a big fundraiser, reaching out to people.”
