The Brick Store Museum was such a surprise. The Civil War portion was so informative about Maine's contribution to the War, and is perfect for adults and for children. The Mansions history, photos and local contributions of memorabilia was very interesting. We spent over an hour there, but could have happily stayed longer. A well-presented piece of Maine history.

There's an amazing little museum in downtown Kennebunk where I'll bet many residents have never been-- the Brick Store Museum. Entrance is by donation (please don't be cheap). Take your time seeing all of the details upstairs and downstairs. You'll enjoy yourself and be surprised at what you've experienced!

History museums are a great way to learn about the area you are visiting. The Brick Store Museum is one of the best in the country. Round out your vacation with some education.

Excellent archives and well-designed displays bring the past to the present community. This museum is housed in three former stores, connected to provide enough space for good exhibits.

Outstanding quality of the displays and excellent information from the docent on our visit. My wife and I really enjoyed our 1st visit to the Brick Store Museum and fully intend to go back. Want to see the Civil War exhibit currently being shown.

Delightful blend of changing exhibits and permanent collections. The museum itself (the buildings) is a museum. Great way to see the region from a more informed, vibrant perspective. This is must see - good for all ages.

What a great museum in the center of a vacation spot! Anytime you feel like hopping off the beach, this museum is waiting for you. They always have changing exhibits, and the four buildings are all connected inside so it's larger than you think! They have a great collection and have chosen exciting ways of interpreting it in their exhibitions.... More

The Brick Store Museum is little jewel. From the fascinating Native American exhibits in the first gallery (including an incredible tale of pre-Revolutionary War Bible that survived an Indian attack), to local ship building artifacts (and learn the real story of the Wedding Cake House), to wonderful paintings and unique furniture, to Main Gallery (where the exhibits change quite often...
