The signs were very informative, and a museum employee shared additional tidbits while also giving us space to enjoy the collection on our own. I know a ton about the history of Porsches, but I actually learned something new from the signage on the 1955 Porsche 356, namely, that the car was marketed as the "Continental," because the importer believed that Americans felt more strongly about cars with names than numbers. Now I understand why the 356 A models were called the "Speedster." Museums are for education! My only suggestion for improvement is to have at least one sign explaining how co-founder Miles Prentice came to love collecting and restoring cars. To people who live in the community and know the background, it might seem like bragging, but to those of us from faraway places, it's education. We visited on a Monday in April, and I appreciated that the museum is open every day of the week, including the "off season."

Beautiful grounds to take a beautiful walk along the coast. Along your walk there are several beautiful prayer stations to stop and reflect. You can even do some off trail type hiking through the forest. Jim in the gift shop is so kind. Such a blessing to be friends with a fellow Catholic. You will be greeted with a big smile and a warm heart! Lots of amazing blessings in the shop to look through. Mass in the chapel was awesome. Lots of cool, tribal, looking art of Mary and Joseph. I really loved this! Lots of places to pray and meditate in the chapel area. Don't forget to ask for a blessing from one of the Franciscans! Thank you St. Anthony's Franciscan Monastery for all you do. Thank you for your service to your community and most importantly to God We appreciate your example!

The biggest bummer was that the green trolley we chose to ride on is unable to do the loop around so we were only able to go back and forth in a straight line unlike the yellow trolley which actually went in around its track to face forward again.

So much detail to each display. It can get a little crowded, which can make it difficult to see all of the detail without feeling rushed or in the way. There are some exhibits upstairs as well, don't forget that section. The gift shop was fun to browse while waiting for our trolley boarding time. I was able to purchase a great souvenir t-shirt - great quality. They had a few snacks and beverages for sale as well. The volunteers were very busy helping and directing people while we were there. The boarding area was spacious with things to look and some engineers standing by to load people onto the trolley. They provided a nice history narrative as the trolley meandered through the property. We were excited as our tour included a stop in the pumpkin patch. We were able to pick one pumpkin per person/ticket. After the tour you have the ability to walk around the campus to the MANY displays and vehicles. We were able to also walk into the the repair garage and see the mechanics and artists working to restore some of the older trolley/train cars. We loved our time there and would definitely return with friends and family. Thank you to all of the hardworking team and volunteers for preserving the history.

Outside they have beautiful gardens as well as the ocean view which had a nice breeze while we were there. There is a gift shop that had a nice sample of beautiful items. Plenty of parking with a complimentary post card. Saw kids also enjoying the art too . Plenty outside to see as well.

This year I went back with my children -- it's not huge and overwhelming and kids absolutely loved it. Ladies that work here were so kind and thoughtful to my kids -- they really help nurture young artists' minds. They even gave us little goodie bags with various arts supplies that my children loved. Wonderful little gem! Can't wait to return!

I wouldn't expect such a small theater to have Broadway shows, but it seems this had developed as…read morean important theater where many famous actors have performed. Because it's an older theater, their solution to a smaller parking lot is to have everyone park in a long row, and they make you pull up so that you're bumper to bumper. If the cars in front of you hustle to the parking lot, it's fine. If they don't, you're stuck until they show up as the cars park so close you can't even get out. I don't love that, but there is nowhere else around to park nearby. The lobby is pretty small and gets very crowded before the doors open. There are snacks and souvenirs for purchase. They don't have a bag check, so I brought my own water, which was great. The theater itself is small and cozy, so most seats will have a good view. I saw Come from Away and was definitely seated closer and more affordably than I could have been in a NYC venue. The performers were all very talented - this isn't just some locals who got on stage. The warned many, many times there was no intermission, and they wouldn't let you back in if you needed to use the restroom, which seemed a bit extreme. There were a lot of other good shows in the upcoming season, so if you are from nearby or staying in the area, it's worth checking out what's on stage. It's a good experience at a good price.

While the outdoor space itself is a little rough-hewn, the displayed pieces are often intriguing, well-made, and beautiful. The Barn focuses on local artists and artisans, mostly from Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts, and has a juried art competition during the summer months. We are often quite impressed with the quality of the works exhibited. (All of the works are available for purchase.) The staff is knowledgeable and friendly -- there is no pressure to buy -- and the Barn in fact feels more like a museum than a retail gallery (it is a non-profit), except there is no permanent collection. We always feel welcome to visit and browse without any obligation to purchase. The Barn also hosts many workshops and seminars by local artists -- perfect for a quiet summer's eve!

Stones clocks and…read moreowls The Ogunquit Library is a relatively small building that was dedicated and built in 1897. As with most libraries of the time it was constructed with private money. I love old libraries and love old libraries made out of old stones the best. This entire building is made out of local field stones. Incredibly stunning to look at. I spent some time just walking around the lovely building admiring the work and textures of the library. Of course having lovely gardens outside the library doesn't exactly hurt the experience. But the library is more than just a lovely building made from cool stones and surround by beautiful flowers. Although that would probably be enough for me to give it five stars. However to make things even better the inside of the library is lovely too. All kinds of cool things are inside; great old pictures, stuffed owls, huge grandfather clocks, lovely ceilings, rocking chairs and even a small model of the library. It even has books, periodicals and computers but you can find those at any library. This library is definitely something special, both on the inside and out. Maine has a whole lot of very cool libraries but this one is really, really one of the most stunning.

I checked the shelves of books for sale, a relatively small collection left over from the book sale, according to the librarian, a cordial young woman w/ an English accent who grew up in London, but didn't find a copy of "A Gentleman in Moscow". There are the usual computers and shelves and shelves of books. The library is open from 9-12 and 2-5 daily, except Sundays. In the winter it's closed Sunday, Monday and holidays.
