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.

Sailor's Valentines are a form of sea shell art, popular in the 1800s, when sailors brought them home to their wives, girlfriends, mothers, or sisters. Most Sailor's Valentines were made in the West Indies, on the island of Barbados, between 1830 and 1880, but production continued into the early 20th century. In this workshop, you can make your own Sailors’ Valentine to take home. Children will build the Sailors’ Valentine with a plastic base while the adult workshop will have smaller shells, a wooden base, and tweezers to easily set small shells. All materials and tools provided.
