On December 18, fifteen middle-school students became the first class to complete Maine Maritime Museum’s innovative Alternative Expeditionary Learning Semester (AELS). The program, which launched in September, was created to provide a full-time, in-person school option for families in the community.

Sunday, December 13, join us to light up the holiday season! The Museum Store will be open late with unique gifts for everyone on your list – spend $50 and get a $10 coupon! The lobster trap tree is all set up, we have a new outdoor lighting display, with a nautical twist, of course, AND, from 4-5:30, bring the family for a drive-by “hi” with Santa!

‘Tis the season… to win an awesome array of gift cards! This raffle prize includes 28 gift cards to some of the museum’s Business Partners. Restaurants, retail stores, even heating oil – it’s all included in this incredible prize totaling $2,600.  That’s right, one lucky winner will take home all the gift cards!
