This small, elite college is located in Brunswick.
Stopped by on a Sunday Morning and wandered across the old, Ivy league feeling campus. Almost every student smiled and said hi - so we felt welcomed and at home - even though we don't "go" here. We walked through the Student union which is a converted gymnasium -- now decorated with cool art, comfy sofas and a spiral walk to the third floor where there are many cozy hang out/study spaces. Felt like the Guggenheim museum :) There is also an inviting museum and countless old trees with outstretched arms waiting to greet you too.

THE SKOLFIELD-WHITTIER HOUSE IS CLOSED FOR THE SEASON. Three generations lived in this Italianate mansion, now a time capsule full of furniture, decor, and home goods from the Victorian age to modern times. Originally shipbuilders, the family includes groundbreakers in the fields of medicine and forensics. A tentative re-opening date is scheduled for after the July 4th Weekend.

The Joshua L. Chamberlain Museum will re-open for private, guided tours BY APPOINTMENT ONLY on July 7. Please visit our website, pejepscothistorical.org, for more information. Visit the home of Maine's most celebrated Civil War hero, who also served four terms as Governor, and was a professor and president of Bowdoin College. The Museum is owned and operated by Pejepscot Historical Society.
We were able to arrange a private tour of the home. Roxann was our guide and she was extraordinary. She was informative and made it interesting for me and my son. We are both history nerds and we were appreciative of her knowledge. I learned so much more about Joshua Chamberlain than I ever could have imagined. The gift shop was well stocked with books, postcards and various tidbits. I'm thankful that we could go. If you are a Civil War nerd, this is a must do.

Bowdoin College's art museum houses some of the oldest works of art in America.
A cold winter day and what a place to visit to get out of the cold & catch up on History. Spent 2 hours going through both floors. During the year, the museum changes out the exhibits. There's also a little gift shop & a elevator for access the upper floor.

This downtown main street has restaurants, cafes, boutiques and galleries.
We have been going to Maine for over 35 years as a couple and as children before that and we have never gotten off of Route 1 and gone into Brunswick. We were traveling with another couple and used Brunswick as our hub for three days. This allowed us to make several trips into town and we were able to explore the shops, restaurants, bakeries and coffee shops along with attractions like Bowdoin College, museums and historic homes and neighborhoods. Brunswick is rich in all of these and Maine Street is the main street where many can be found. I will review each attraction we visited separately, but needless to say, it is a charming town with much to offer and therefore a wonderful destination. We cannot believe we had not explore Brunswick before this. We are looking forward to returning.

Flight Deck Brewing opened to the public in early 2017, with the drive to provide greater-Brunswick with a destination brewery, casual social gathering space, and family-friendly venue for building our community. Located in the former Small Arms Range of the Brunswick Naval Air Station (now Brunswick Landing), our Tasting Room was named "Best in Maine" by Down East Magazine. With a constantly evolving tap list, food trucks, regular live music, and plenty of space to hang out with your dog (and/or human kids, too), we hope to see you soon!
Stopped by Flight Deck Brewing on a Monday afternoon. We really liked the brewery. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The beer was excellent and the food truck was outstanding as well. The décor and memorabilia are an added bonus. Definitely give it a try, we think you'll like it.
