Museums Near Harpswell, Maine

Located in Bath, this is a museum of ship building, plus a boat ride up the river to view lighthouses. (Pre-purchasing tickets for the boat cruises is recommended and can be done online at the museum’s website.) Visit Website

Peary Museum

Peary Museum at Bowdoin College in Brunswick is a neat little museum about Robert Peary’s trips to the North Pole. Visit Website

Eagle Island Museum

Eagle Island Museum ( Summer home of Admiral Robert Peary, also documents his trips to the North Pole)… the Island is visible looking Southwest from the end of Pott’s Point.  Eagle Island is also a great place to picnic and hike around for an afternoon.  There is a cash “donation” required to visit the island & museum… typically ~$6 per person. Visit Website

Note: two suggested ways to get to the island…

  • Motor or sail your own boat and moor it off the dock on the Northwest side of the island.
  • It’s also possible to have someone from the Dolphin Marina (noted above) motor you over to Eagle Island, then come to get you at a pre-determined time.  For a fee, of course.
