Seal Cove Auto Museum is an unexpected hidden gem for sure! Many one-of-a-kind cars from the brass era in perfect condition, completed with easy to read descriptions and stories of each car, bike or motorcycle. Friendly staff. When we went and through next year the "Engines of Change" exhibit was out, telling the story of the Suffrage movement and the role cars played in women's independence. Completely enjoyed our visit. For only $10!

A non-profit (your donation is tax deductible) organization dedicated to collecting and preserving any and all historic information and artifacts pertaining to the granite industry of Maine. In the museum you will find hundreds of old tools that were used in the industry, photos of the quarries in operation and the buildings and monuments which were erected from Maine's beautiful granites. Curator and founder Steven Haynes is there to guide you through this once important history of our state.

Wonderful visit and a lot of history to learn. Being an amateur "rock hound" and the daughter of a man who used to make the chisels used in quarrying, it was a great learning experience. The man that took us through was knowledgeable, fun, and just full of the little information that a person needs to make this an up-close and personal tour. Highly recommend a visit.

Real, working telephones and the switchboards and switching systems that powered the network are featured at this hands-on, interactive museum. You are encouraged to use wall-mounted, hand-crank magneto phones, dial phones, and manual switchboards. And you will see, hear and enjoy the electro-mechanical marvels that led the way to computers, cell phones, smart phones and other wonders of telecommunications.

anyone who helps any animals and or birds or even fish have to be special types of people. I love to walk outdoors and here in Elsworth,Maine you have the best of all worlds. The people here are very caring and the trails are in good order. No matter what your age you will find something to keep you not only interested but makes you feel good that someone is taking care of those in need. This is a safe place for these birds while they recover and get better. You can shop in the gift store and bring a lunch and eat at a table set up for you. Get lost for a while in nature. you will fee free and relaxed which is something we all need every once in a while. Go here an enjoy a great afternoon.In warm weather suggest some bug spray.
