Nonprofit Status:
In November 2009, The Gingerbread House Task Force officially incorporated as a 501 (c)3 nonprofit organization with a new name:
Norway Landmarks Preservation Society, dba Friends of the Gingerbread House.
Our mission: To preserve the historic architecture of Norway, Maine and develop resources for the promotion of traditional building arts. We believe that historic preservation is an economic development strategy to revitalize Norway, creating jobs, attracting investments downtown, and fostering small, independent businesses. We see historic preservation as common sense economics, a cost-effective reuse of existing resources.

The Gingerbread House is located on Main Street, right across from Pleasant Street. If it sounds pleasant and quaint, that is because it is. And yet our plans to restore this iconic home include the possibility of hydro power from the dam behind the house and alternative heating methods that rely on the natural resources and local job skills in western Maine.
The rest of our downtown and the surrounding Oxford Hills towns offer many opportunities for the tourist or resident. Please take a minute to visit these area websites. Norway Downtown http://www.norwaydowntown.org/ Norway Historical Society http://www.norwayhistoricalsociety.org/ |
