Lovely staff. Everyone is kind and knowledgeable. The whole place is very clean and spacious. The items in their collection are well kept and everything was laid out nicely with clear descriptions of each item. Their gift shop has some nice items as well.

So much to see in here. Beautiful art, culture and history. It was much larger than we expected, we spent a couple hours here and could have spent a couple more. We were glad to learn about the original settlers of this area, the ongoing contributions of their descendents, and their struggles for self-determination.

Very interesting and informative museum which outlines very well the history of Native Americans in Maine and neighboring states from precolonial times to today. Also has a gift shop. The museum is relatively small but makes good use of space. I would recommend this museum.

We had a great experience visiting. Shop staff were knowledgeable about the museum and town and very friendly. There's something for everyone to learn here and the exhibits are clear, engaging and creative. In the shop there are a range of things to buy including beautiful artwork by native artists.
