The signs were very informative, and a museum employee shared additional tidbits while also giving us space to enjoy the collection on our own. I know a ton about the history of Porsches, but I actually learned something new from the signage on the 1955 Porsche 356, namely, that the car was marketed as the "Continental," because the importer believed that Americans felt more strongly about cars with names than numbers. Now I understand why the 356 A models were called the "Speedster." Museums are for education! My only suggestion for improvement is to have at least one sign explaining how co-founder Miles Prentice came to love collecting and restoring cars. To people who live in the community and know the background, it might seem like bragging, but to those of us from faraway places, it's education. We visited on a Monday in April, and I appreciated that the museum is open every day of the week, including the "off season."

Beautiful grounds to take a beautiful walk along the coast. Along your walk there are several beautiful prayer stations to stop and reflect.

You will be greeted with a big smile and a warm heart! Lots of amazing blessings in the shop to look through. Mass in the chapel was awesome. Lots of cool, tribal, looking art of Mary and Joseph. I really loved this! Lots of places to pray and meditate in the chapel area. Don't forget to ask for a blessing from one of the Franciscans! Thank you St. Anthony's Franciscan Monastery for all you do. Thank you for your service to your community and most importantly to God We appreciate your example!

Walker's Point...aka: The Bush compound…read more This is the summer retreat of the Bush family. The estate is located on a peninsula (a point) of land which extends out into the Atlantic Ocean. In the compound there is the large main house, a boathouse, guesthouses, garages, tennis court, pool, dock and several patios and decks. Moreover, the lawns around the house are large and there is even a sports field. Of course, there is a gate at the entrance and it is guarded full time. There is a huge flagpole and when they are in residence the flag is flown. The history: The estate was originally purchased in the late 19th century by Bush's great-grandfather David Davis Walker, and George Herbert "Bert" Walker, his son. Both built mansions on the point in 1902 (moving in day was in 1903), however, David Walker's mansion has since been torn down. Shortly after Dorothy Walker and Prescott Bush were married, Bert Walker built a "bungalow" on the Point and gave it to them as a wedding present. When Bert died, his son, George Herbert Walker Jr. (aka: Herbie), purchased the property from his father's estate...it was not willed to him, he had to buy it. When Herbie passed away in 1977, the property went up for sale again and was purchased by Herbie's nephew, George H. W. Bush...yes, he had to buy it, and it was not willed to him. The estate has since remained in the Bush family. The compound has been referred to as the "Summer White House" by both George H.W. (41st President) and George W. (43rd President). Both hosted a variety of world leaders here during their respective presidencies with informal and private meetings. Gee Whiz info: It was previously known as Point Vesuvius, Flying Point and Damon Point and/or Damon Park. The area you basically "visit" is Parsons Way which is the piece of land you stand on to look at Walker's Point and the Bush compound. The area you park in is part of Parson's Way as well. It was donated by Harry Parsons (est. 1944) so everyone could enjoy the scenic and natural beauty. OK...so for us visitors/tourist: It is easy to get to and viewable along the road. There is a small parking lot along the road to Walker's Point (part of Parsons Way) for those wanting to stop to get a closer look. There is also a nice memorial close to where you park for President George H.W. - Unfortunately, and a tad rude, the lawn mowing companies that mow the lawns at the surrounding homes choose to park in the lot meant for visitors instead of at the residence they are working at. This makes parking even more limited...and it can be interesting around there to say the least when the lawn mowing companies arrive. Aside from the history, and this being the Bush compound...this is a beautiful area to sit for a few minutes and just take it all in...at Parsons Way. It's easy to see why they chose this area so many years ago. It's definitely worth a side trip!

So much detail to each display. It can get a little crowded, which can make it difficult to see all of the detail without feeling rushed or in the way. There are some exhibits upstairs as well, don't forget that section. The gift shop was fun to browse while waiting for our trolley boarding time. I was able to purchase a great souvenir t-shirt - great quality. They had a few snacks and beverages for sale as well. The volunteers were very busy helping and directing people while we were there. The boarding area was spacious with things to look and some engineers standing by to load people onto the trolley. They provided a nice history narrative as the trolley meandered through the property. We were excited as our tour included a stop in the pumpkin patch. We were able to pick one pumpkin per person/ticket. After the tour you have the ability to walk around the campus to the MANY displays and vehicles. We were able to also walk into the the repair garage and see the mechanics and artists working to restore some of the older trolley/train cars. We loved our time there and would definitely return with friends and family. Thank you to all of the hardworking team and volunteers for preserving the history.

We are often quite impressed with the quality of the works exhibited. (All of the works are available for purchase.) The staff is knowledgeable and friendly -- there is no pressure to buy -- and the Barn in fact feels more like a museum than a retail gallery (it is a non-profit), except there is no permanent collection.

Stones clocks and…read moreowls The Ogunquit Library is a relatively small building that was dedicated and built in 1897. As with most libraries of the time it was constructed with private money. I love old libraries and love old libraries made out of old stones the best. This entire building is made out of local field stones. Incredibly stunning to look at. I spent some time just walking around the lovely building admiring the work and textures of the library. Of course having lovely gardens outside the library doesn't exactly hurt the experience. But the library is more than just a lovely building made from cool stones and surround by beautiful flowers. Although that would probably be enough for me to give it five stars. However to make things even better the inside of the library is lovely too. All kinds of cool things are inside; great old pictures, stuffed owls, huge grandfather clocks, lovely ceilings, rocking chairs and even a small model of the library. It even has books, periodicals and computers but you can find those at any library. This library is definitely something special, both on the inside and out. Maine has a whole lot of very cool libraries but this one is really, really one of the most stunning.
