We have three 19thcentury barns displaying over fifty classic small water craft including lobster boats, dories, and canoes. Two buildings are filled with hands-on maritime activities for kids. Outside on our green you can raise and lower a ship’s mast!Check our websitewww.penobscotmarinemuseum.orgfor exhibit, lectures and workshops through the year.

Take beautiful photographs with cameras you've made from boxes off the kitchen shelf. It's pure magic! The beautiful, soft-focus images will amaze you. A pinhole camera is a camera without a lens and with a single small aperture, a pinhole. Light from a scene passes through this single point and projects an inverted image on the opposite side of the box where a piece of film or photographic paper is wedged or taped into the other end. 
Photographer: Anne-Claude Cotty is an artist and teacher living in Stonington, and is a past education coordinator of the Maine Crafts Association and executive director of the Hancock County Cultural Network.          
For all ages. Young children must be accompanied by an adult.
