The Patsy Bauman Gallery
The Patsy Bauman Gallery, generously supported by the Bauman Family Foundation, was unveiled in June 2018 inside the Museum’s Program Center. It allows the Museum to feature contemporary Maine artists for monthly exhibitions from May – December.

The Victory Garden
The Victory Garden was founded in 2014, in conjunction with the Museum’s exhibition, “Vitamin V: How Food Fought the Second World War.”
It has since grown to supply vegetables to our local food pantry every year, spring through fall. The Victory Garden highlights the importance of food security and conservation in the 1940s and today. Visitors to the Museum are invited to explore the gardens upon their visit.
