We challenge you to make a model boat out of a Pumpkin! Bring your model pumpkin boat to the Penobscot Marine Museum on Saturday October 6th to compete. PMM staff will judge entries using a point system based on size, composition, creative use of pumpkin, overall look, ability to float, and speed. The winner will receive 50% of the proceeds and the other 50% will go to the Penobscot Marine Museum to help support programming like this!

Footsteps walk across the floor upstairs when no one is there. Voices are heard, a presence is felt. There are stories from the people who work at the Penobscot Marine Museum about unexplained circumstances in the museum buildings. This is your chance to hear them. Are the ghost stories real? You decide. This special tour starts with museum staff sharing descriptions of spooky encounters at the museum and proceeds with a flashlight tour of the Fowler-True-Ross House. Discover the true stories behind the artifacts but beware – you may leave with a new story about a ghostly encounter. Tours will start every 15 minutes and will become spookier as the night goes on. Tours leave from the PMM Visitors Center. To reserve your time slot, call 207-548-2529.
