Our community museum, founded in 1967, preserves and explores our island’s cultural and natural history with over 25 permanent exhibits. It houses 300+ birds from the Allan Moses Bird Collection. Other exhibits include geology, lighthouses, shipbuilding, ferries, fishing, shipwrecks, and folk art. A recently created spiral staircase exhibit of six murals features 129 species and explores the ecology of Bay of Fundy marine life. The Willa Cather exhibit highlights the Pulitzer-prize winning novelist’s summers spent on Grand Manan, while extensive outdoor boardwalk exhibits include island history, a lighthouse gazebo, a one-room schoolhouse, and pollinator gardens. Enjoy our seasonal exhibits with items form the collection, an annual art exhibit and our impressive line up of summer lectures and special events programming. Please see our website for details on the full schedule.
