The Raymond Strout Collection

Early maps, posters, broadsides, ledgers, letters, wooden signs, handblown glass, bottles, oyster crocks and Soderholtz pots tell a special story of the everyday life of villagers of Mount Desert Island of the nineteenth and mid-twentieth centuries. Local historian Raymond Strout, who as a Bar Harbor schoolboy became fascinated with collecting "ordinary" objects from the past, reveals how eloquent simple objects and papers become over time.

On exhibit from July 8 - August 6
Opening reception July 10 from 5:00 - 7:00 p.m.
