If you're an animal lover, this small nonprofit museum dedicated to honoring and remembering the…read morebrave companions who have lived and labored alongside humans on the sea for centuries is a must-visit for you. 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.

Such a cute and highly educational museum . It's a very tiny museum and I would recommend setting…read moreaside about 30-45 minutes to read everything . There is free parking and a small gift shop . Admission is free and any money you spend at the gift shop goes towards sustaining the museum . I learned a lot about animals that have helped shape Maritime history . I loved the local stories about local families and sea captains . 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 !

Wonderful! We celebrated a shared birthday at Wanderwood. It was glorious, beautiful, and a…read morepleasure. The location is an atmospheric renovated barn, situated above an open field and trees, with winding trails down to a lake. It's full of character - a storied place for sure. We had music and food to share with our guests. The day is likely to live long in our memories, and we could not be more grateful. Thank you!

We happened to be in town for the last day of the few festival, which held the most important event: the cheese roll! The Good: *Free to attend *Chill atmosphere and didn't seem overly crowded *Lots of food trucks *Great location at the Belfast Ha'bah *Family-friendly *Live Celtic-themed ingredients *Heavy Games (aka Scottish Highland games) *Cheese roll was epic and totally worth watching. It seems like the stupidest thing on earth, but I promise you it's fucking hilarious and so much fun to watch. The Meh: *Didn't really notice a lot of crafty booths around, but it's possible they might've been gone since we showed up for only the final hours of the event. The Ugly: *Parking down at the Ha'bah can be a giant PiTa, but not impossible. Conclusion: Great local festival with some fun events--and don't miss the cheese roll!

Top quality musicians, many of whom also give workshops in fiddle, accordion or whatever their…read morespecial instrument happens to be. There are also music sessions each day where one can bring one's own instrument and join in with a group to jam. The Scottish "heavy games" are amazing to watch as burly men (and women) compete in traditional events such as the caber toss, hammer throw and stone put, all while wearing kilts. Lots of food vendors and craft or information booths. There's also a Renaissance 'travelers' village. And there are fireworks Saturday night! All of this takes place on the waterfront within walking distance from downtown Belfast. Entry is by donation and well worth the contribution!

They have quite a number of buildings with exhibits in each and docents to help you along the way. They've done an extremely nice job with their presentation and items.

For me, having grown up in New England with family that goes back several hundred years, looking at some of the antique furniture was like looking at my childhood home :)

The tidal river is easily accessible within a 10 to 15 minute easy stroll from the parking lot. Horseshoe crabs can be seen spawning in June. Plenty of fish fry hatching in July.

But make sure you get a permit from the county clerk before hand. The daily clam bag limit is generous. Lovely views of the river, tall grasses and wildflowers. There is even an Osprey nest that gets used in Spring through Summer. A magical way to drink in midcoast Maine without a lot of driving and hiking.
