No Sleep ’Til Brooklin: Pack Dodge and the Haven Colony, 1900–1930
July 22–September 30, 2026
Reception and Slideshow August 19, 6-8pm
Rockbound Chapel
718 Reach Rd, Brooklin, ME
Located in Brooklin, Maine, the Haven Colony was a summer community of vacation cottages built primarily by Washington, D.C.-based “Rusticators.” Seasonal resident Parker “Pack” Dodge, a D.C. patent attorney, documented life in and around the colony through his photographs during the early 20thcentury.
In 2023, Pack’s descendants, John Dodge and Paul Gagliardi, generously donated nearly 1,000 of his large- and medium-format negatives to the Penobscot Marine Museum. Thoughtfully curated by Maynard Bray and Robert Baird, this exhibit offers a glimpse into the people and places of this historic summer community.
On display free of charge at Rockbound Chapel in Brooklin through the end of September. The chapel is accessible 24/7, so visitors can explore the exhibit at their convenience.
