Institution description
Since 1936, Penobscot Marine Museum has been sharing an ever-expanding collection of stories and histories from Maine’s coastal communities spanning centuries. Located in Searsport, Maine,
the museum has a campus of historical homes and buildings that display and share art, objects, photos, documents, and small boats.

In-person visitors explore Maine’s working waterfronts through hands-on exhibits, historical artifacts, fine art, and a research library. Online visitors join lectures and workshops broadcast free to the public, and also search historical databases of the museum’s collection, which contains more than 500,000 photos, objects, and documents.

All of the Penobscot Marine Museum offerings serve to spread the stories of the tightly-knit communities of Mainers whose lives and livelihoods have long been sustained on or by the sea.
