We have dozens of exhibit galleries, activities, daily talks and hands-on demonstrations.

Get your sea-legs on the banks schooner Theresa E. Connor and talk with "old salts" who fished the North Atlantic. Help with the launching of a schooner model and feel the thrill of watching a vessel slide down the ways. Visit the boatbuilding shop - or, spend a bit of time hooking a mat or quilting, in the Life in Fishing Communities exhibit. The Ice House Theatre shows films throughout the day.
