WAA Museum
Located at the National Wreaths Across America Headquarters in Columbia Falls, Maine, the WAA Museum is a 1,800-square-foot facility showcasing hundreds of items that have been donated to Wreaths Across America over the decades, including personal photos, awards, uniforms, helmets and other military memorabilia. All donations help to provide insight and tell the greater story of the experiences of U.S. military personnel.
“Over the years, hundreds of people have shared precious memories and donated their personal belongings to us to ensure that the legacy and sacrifices of their loved ones survives,” said Karen Worcester, executive director, Wreaths Across America. “This Museum is the perfect forum for us to share their stories and the valuable items that we’ve been so honored to receive, while at the same time offering the public a place of comfort and healing.”
The WAA Museum, located at 4 Point Street in Columbia Falls, ME, is open year-round. Visiting hours are Monday through Friday, from 9AM to 3PM.

Remembrance Tree Program - see www.wreathsacrossamerica.org
The Veterans Remembrance Tree Program was established as another way to remember and honor our veterans. As Gold Star families visited the land where the balsam tips are harvested each year for the wreaths that are placed on veteran’s graves, they found a sense of peace and tranquility form the land. WAA established a program to give them a living memorial to their lost loved ones.

Each family can contact WAA and give information on their loved on. Due to the overwhelming support of this program, WAA has purchased its own dog-tag machine, allowing the families of the veteran the ability to customize their message for the tag. The family is taken out to the balsam tip land to find a tree that will become their living memorial to their loved one. The dog-tag is then placed on the trunk of an evergreen tree of their choosing. A red marker is placed on the tree to show that it has been chosen as a memorial. The trees are kept in production and are tipped every three years; those balsam tips are then used to make the veteran’s wreaths that are placed each December.

This program is open to all families who have had a loved one in the military. For more information, please call: 1-877-385-9504
