Cape Porpoise dugout canoe on exhibit
The Brick Store Museum will open its first exhibition of 2021, “Cape Porpoise: Archaeology in the Archipelago,” on Tuesday at 117 Main St.
This exhibition, presented in partnership with the Cape Porpoise Archaeological Alliance, of which the Museum is a part, will be on view until April.
Explore 8,000 years of artifacts uncovered during recent archaeological investigations conducted by the Cape Porpoise Archaeological Alliance (CPAA). Learn about Indigenous stone tool technology and the science of archaeology through the work undertaken in the past few years on the islands of Cape Porpoise.
A highlight of the exhibit is the remains of the oldest dugout canoe ever found in the Wabanaki homeland of the Far Northeast, first identified in 2018 and painstakingly excavated in the summer of 2019 by CPAA.
To view the exhibition, visitors are required to make a timed reservation through the Museum’s online reservation system at www.brickstoremuseum.org. This helps to prevent the spread of COVID-19, while allowing the galleries to remain open to the public. Like in the past, the Museum is running its Free February campaign, meaning admission is free for the month of February. However, visitors must have a valid reservation time (free, through the Museum’s website) to enter the buildings.
Museum hours are from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays; from from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays; and from noon to 4 p.m. Sundays. Admission is $7 for adults, $6 for seniors, and $20 for families. Saturdays are half price for families!

Programs in Maine are being presented by Portland Ovations and will feature Solstice.
Award-winning performers on the tour include Grand Prix Final Champion, two-time Skate Canada Champion and two-time U.S. National Champion Alissa Czisny; ISU International competitor and Junior World Team Member Wesley Campbell; and Team USA Skater Angela Wang. Additional IDI company members include Adam Kaplan Lara Shelton and Neill Shelton.
