Great Harbor Maritime Museum
In the late 1990s, the Great Harbor Collection became the Great Harbor Maritime Museum. With a more focused mission, the museum started mounting exhibits and hosting events relating to the maritime history of the greater Mount Desert Island region.
Friends still gather to socialize on the benches outside the museum and Northeast Harbor’s Christmas tree is still placed in front of the building each December. But the spaces formerly devoted to town business and housing fire trucks are now used to share some of the many stories relating to the area’s maritime history.
