NOTE
Many museums and historic sites in Maine are
small, and operate for only part of the year, staffed
by volunteers. The opening days and times of these
institutions vary, depending upon weather, avail-
able staff and other factors; some are open by ap-
pointment only. We recommend that you call
ahead to find out the latest opening times.
