The Lewiston Museum is the site of the original St. Paul's Church, an important Underground Railroad site.

The first rector of this historic church was the Reverend Rufus Murray, posted to Lewiston as a missionary in 1838. He remained in Lewiston for nine years, keeping detailed records. During this time, he documented that he provided burial services for at least three "strangers", the euphemism for passengers on the Underground Railroad. The two adults and one "child of a stranger" were buried in unmarked graves in the Lewiston Cemetery, presumably to foil slave-catching agents and prevent exposure of the abolitionist activities of the minister and his congregation.

The Lewiston Museum is a facility operated by the Historical Association of Lewiston, a private, non-profit organization. The Association and Museum are entirely operated and maintained by volunteers.
