We drove 4 hours on a Saturday to see this Museum because online it states Winter hours are Sat 10-4. They were closed Sunday through Wednesday. We showed up on Saturday and a sign on the door says Closed January and February. There was a number to call. The woman was not sympathetic to our long drive and in fact... More

Loved the exhibits! It is historically very informative. The reception was great and the knowledge expressed is more than what we expected. The visit lead us to see Breakwater and Owl Head lighthouses. A visit to the museum is a must.

Not only is this a great place to check out, but there is a visitor's center in the lobby, and all the workers are friendly and knowledgable about the area. We are so glad we went!

We went in here looking for the Public restrooms and were surprised to find a FREE museum and visitor center staffed by super friendly people. Quite a nice place - worthy of adding to a to-do list when in Rockland!!!

We went to the Maine Lighthouse. It was extremely interesting and I learn so much information on the history of lighthouses in Maine.
