Please join us for an opening reception of our new photography exhibit entitled “Peaks. An Island Like No Other.”

Photographer, David Owen, will be on hand to share how his love of Peaks Island informs the unique images he has captured.

Light refreshments will be served.

At Rappahannock Station, the 5th Maine Regiment was conspicuous for its gallantry, capturing four enemy flags. But discrepancy between sources has led to confusion about which flags were captured. Fifth Maine Museum board member, Curt Mildner, will present the results of his original research to establish which four flags the regiment captured.

Don’t miss your chance to see dozens of artists showcasing their work from their home studios right here on Peaks Island.

You’ll find everything from watercolors, to ceramic tiles, to hand-pulled prints, to mittens and hats, to stained glass, to baskets, to fiber arts, to candles, to books, to photography, to art quilts, to botanical soaps…the list is just too long to keep going.

Stop by the Fifth Maine Museum to pick up your printed brochure, available on August 31st – September 2nd.
