Builders and Committees

The University and Maine at Presque Isle wishes to thank everyone who donated long hours of dedicated work to the Maine Solar System Model, from building materials and painting to installing the planets in their current locations. This project never could have been completed without the determination and perseverance of all individuals who believed in the model from the beginning and helped create a vital educational landmark for Northern Maine.
