    Enjoyed walking around the space with lots to see! Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. Children's play area with STEM activities monthly. Gift shop has something for everyone. Don't forget to look up! Day: Saturday Afternoon- Not busy at all Tickets were $15/person.

    I was surprised at how good this museum was. We'd been underwhelmed by some other local museums and had relatively low expectations going here. But we had a rainy day, we were looking for indoor activities, and an acquaintance had recommended it. There was so much more here than I anticipated, and it was all very interesting. From old Harley and Indian motorcycles to Rolls Royces to early planes to a Gemini space capsule. There was plenty here to keep us engaged. When we went there was an exhibit on women transportation pioneers, which I found quite interesting. I'd definitely recommend a visit to this museum if you find yourself with some time on your hands.

    This may be the first time in my life I was in a shrine for petrol-heads and didn't have my eyes glaze over. I am admittedly uninterested in cars, but I can recognize a great museum when I see it. It was immersive, thorough, and there were cars upon cars for days. There is something for everyone, even if you just want to sit casually and watch their many video exhibits while others drool... Er... admire the beautiful cars. The exhibits that stand out in my mind (some eight months later, admittedly) was hearing the sounds and seeing the video of an old race in a mock-up of a mechanic's garage, and the exhibit on women in transportation. My Flying Ace traveling buddy also gave it four paws of approval!

    A surprisingly good museum that exceeded both of our expectations. The vintage vehicles and planes were in excellent condition, with most of them in running condition. A great collection coupled with with some very good videos that added really added to the vibrance and interest to this quality collection. A great place to take the family or the transportation aficionado! The personnel were very engaging and they have an active volunteer group that works on maintaining and restoration of their fleet of vehicles. Definitely worth a trip when in the area.

    Best of its kind! I never seen such a great collection of automobile, motorcycles and airplanes in the same place. I love it. We were here on Saturday and there was an event going on. Antique car auction and also you can ride on them. The quality of what they have was just top notch. I have no knowledge of antique cars or planes but tremendously enjoyed viewing the beauty of them. I recommend anyone to take a look at this museum.

    Really cool museum with lots of history. I enjoyed the racing exhibits of this museum and the hanger where they restore all the old planes (and apparently fly them at least once in a while!). I can see car nerds really geeking out in this place while I enjoyed the photo opportunities. It's a really nice and organized museum that deserves to be visited!

    I was impressed with their collection of of some 100 pioneer-era flying machines and vehicles; all of which were beautifully maintained. Try to visit when a special event is taking place. Some of the planes are taken out to the air field and actually flown.

The museum started as an online museum where it found international popularity for more than 10 years, before its CEO and Founder (an AMAZING woman named Patricia) retired to Maine and turned her passion project into a full-time labor of love with its own physical footprint. The museum is small and is comprised of just one room with various displays and an area with small souvenirs you can purchase to help support the nonprofit and its mission of chronicling and remembering the impact animals have alongside humans throughout naval history. There is ample free parking in the area and entry is free (but there is a box for you to make a cash donation if you're so inclined.) I cant wait to visit again in the future as the museum continues to grow and expand in its new location.

The museum even has a maritime pet ambassador you can learn about and follow along on their sea adventures . We found the museum creator, Patricia to be kind , enthusiastic, professional and dedicated to her museum . I highly recommend the Museum of Maritime Pets !

    The Knox Museum - Montpelier

    The Knox Museum - Montpelier

    The Knox Museum is a true historical gem, not only for the small town of Thomaston, but for the…read moreentire state of Maine. The museum does an OUTSTANDING job of preserving the memory and legacy of founding father Henry Knox whom - to be frank - I was not familiar with at all (other than the one name drop he receives in the Hamilton musical). General Knox was born in 1750. In 1775, General George Washington chose Knox as his Chief of Artillery. He spent most of the Revolutionary War by Washington's side and following the war, he was chosen to be the first Secretary of War. Knox's Revolutionary War accomplishments include leading the expedition to transfer sixty tons of captured British cannon from Fort Ticonderoga to Boston, directing Washington's famous Delaware River crossing, and taking charge of the placement of the artillery at Yorktown. In 1795, Knox retired to a large tract of land, located in what is now Thomaston, Maine which his wife had inherited from her mother. On this land, they built an elaborate nineteen-room mansion and named it "Montpelier". The original Montpelier was torn down in 1871, but an exact replica was pain-stakenly built in its place in 1929 by the local chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR). The Montpelier Museum now houses many of the objects Knox kept in the original mansion that was donated by his descendants (including Marie Antoinnete's book case which is a whole wild story I'd never heard of before but is worth googling). A really interesting find and amazing legacy that Genera Knox has left behind in coastal Maine. If y'all ever find yourself up there I recommend making a visit! The museum and tour were a highlight of our most recent Maine trip.

It was a lovely evening and we will certainly return again.

    Maine Lobster Festival - Concentrating on my technique to crack this 3 lobster dinner

The Festival is located at Rockland's Harbor Park, is easy to find on Main Street. There is FREE parking at South Elementary School (30 Broadway, Rockland, ME) where a free shuttle bus will take you downtown to the Festival. Buses run every 30 minutes or less. Entrance gates are located on Main Street and Park Street. It was sprinkling our first day at the festival therefore the lines were nonexistent; loved it! I was here for the Lobstah but there were quite a lot of food vendors if I wanted to have fish, chicken or pork. A lot of drink options as well, boba, beer, lemonade and plenty of other soft drinks. We purchased the 3 lobster dinner for 85 dollars it came with a corn in the cob, hot drawn butter, slaw, bib, salt, pepper, 1 napkin, 1 wet wipe and a plastic wobbly pick I'm guessing to aid with getting the lobster out of the shell(useless). We also got a Shore dinner for 59, which came with 1 lobster, big steamed clams, corn on the cob, chowder of your choice, they had about 5 different types, we got the haddock, it was chunky and had a lot of flavor.They sell lobster crackers for 8 dollars shaped like a claw but they are also useless without a real handle and once you get butter on them, which it's inevitable, they get slippery and you have the 1 thin paper napkin to work with. Anyway, BYO cracker and napkins; Messy transaction but lots of fun! They have a tent with lots of arts and crafts. Local artists showcase their work and it's all available for purchase. I saw a few ladies selling knitted items and home made jewelry too. So many beautiful things, you're sure to find something for everyone to take home. All people working here are volunteers and they are sweet and friendly. I plan on returning for sure. It was a super chill and fun experience. Loved it!

I expected a larger variety of lobster food items. But there was a tent with hand crafted local items, something I enjoy and a bounce house area for the kids, although a little overpriced. Another take away was the lack of seating areas other than the main food tent, if you did buy food here there were little to no areas to sit and eat or take a break. All in all we had been trying to get to this festival for years, but once was enough.
