lobster rolls imaginable.  Bring your appetite and try 'em.
 

 The Coastal Children's Museum
                          is now open year around! 

We have been puttering away this winter building new displays preparing for a grand and exciting opening for 2010, our second season.
 

Be sure to stay tuned for museum presentations of our educational
lecture series coming up in 2010.
 

The conference room has been enlarged to include a large library and serving kitchen. We can accommodate over a hundred people for lectures and musical performances. The rooms have many displays of the old ship building and fishing industry and

beautiful and intricate models of the great sailing vessels.

You have to see it to believe it.
