Thank you for your interest in a Penobscot Marine Museum presentation. We welcome the opportunity to share more information about our museum and pass along our knowledge of the maritime culture of the Penobscot Bay region and beyond. Our staff can come to your site for an in-person program or we can do a Zoom program. For more information please contact Jeana Ganskop, Education Director, at [email protected] or 207-548-2529.

We offer two different types of presentations:
Community Conversations Presentations
Our staff can describe our work at the Penobscot Marine Museum, dig deeper into one of our signature collections, or share a series of photographs of your community. During the presentation, we welcome stories and insights from the audience to help us fill out the history and culture of your community and our region.
