Located 5 miles inland from the Camden waterfront sits our 68-acre property complete with our 200-year-old barn-turned-tasting room, gift shop, vineyard, and winery. During the summer of 2020, we are offering self-directed wine tastings with a reservation. For more information visit mainewine.com

With Covid the winery is doing reservations only. The Cellar Door was on our "must do" list for our 24 hour visit to Camden, and thanks to Carolyn at Captain Swift Inn, she got is an afternoon reservation. We sat outside on rocking chairs overlooking the grounds and vineyard (photo) and enjoyed a flight of wine each and charcuterie plate. Then picked our favorite, and bought a bottle and sat and enjoyed that as well. . It was a beautiful day, very relaxed visit, and the wine was spectacular. Definitely one of the highlights of our Camden trip!

Surrounding a replica of Orville and Wilbur Wright's biplane is a stunning array of automobiles through the ages, all impeccably maintained. Antique cars, motorbikes, gypsy wagon, fire truck and more. You will be amazed. People come from all over the country to visit the museum. There is always an event of some kind which draws a crowd. The old planes fly in good weather, and if you're lucky you may even get a chance to take a ride. I can't say enough about it. Thanks OHTM!

Jan Kilburn's prints are sold widely in the area and on Monhegan. We had seen and like them so decided to stop by her studio on the way to Pemaquid lighthouse. She was there--very nice and welcoming and we enjoyed seeing both her original watercolors and prints. Of course, we had to buy some!

We stopped in the Sail Power and Steam Museum while walking on the Rockland Harbor Trail, and we highly recommend it to anyone in the Rockland area. It is a must-see if you are interested in the local history and maritime history, with a large and unique collection of items. I recommend using the guided DVD tour so that you can hear Captain Jim Sharp's stories and information about each room.

Great collection of local artist's work. If you are looking for something to remind you of your trip to coastal Maine (Downeast), this place is one-stop shopping. Purchased an item perfect for completing a room in our home in Tampa and Susan shipped it directly to us. Great place to bring home some truly unique art.

A library that was open during the pandemic! It was like an oasis.Camden's library is on a spot overlooking the harbor, with some amazing outdoor space. What you think is a gazebo or maybe a Tardis, turns out to be a window into the reference room. On the other side of the building is the outdoor amphitheater. It's not hosting any shows or concerts this summer, but is a beautiful shady spot to rest and read.

Wow! If you’re looking for an amazing oil paint class Will is your man! Our family of 5 (80years old down to 16 year old) loved this class! We dabble in “paint and sip events”, so it was amazing to get real life lessons and walk out w a painting of the lighthouse that we love! Will has so much talent painting AND instructing!! He was so calm and amazing at helping each of us. Highly recommend him!!! He was so accommodating and even allowed us to change days and add another painter last minute. We learned a lot from grids on the canvas to mixing oils. He was great and his studio holds gorgeous pieces for sale! We rank him 6 starts******!
