Acadia All American Road
Abbe Museum, ME

This museum has Stone Age antiquities along with exhibits about Abnaki Indian culture and habitation on the Maine coast. You can catch a workshop or other educational programs.

The Abbe Museum was one of the first museums built in Maine and is the only museum devoted entirely to Maine's Native American heritage, with a special emphasis on history and culture. The museum's archaeological collections include more than 50,000 objects from a span of 10,000 years of history. Within the collection there are objects shaped from bone, such as combs and needles, and even a rare 3000-year-old flute made from the bone of a swan. The museum also includes more recent collections of stone work, beads, copper, pipes, jewelry and woodcarvings.

The original museum is located at Sieur de Monts Spring in Acadia National Park. It is surrounded by gorgeous woodland with trails running through it. A new year-round location in downtown Bar Harbor has a spacious gallery, a hands-on learning lab, and indoor and outdoor areas for special programs.
