BAR HARBOR — The Bar Harbor Historical Society is excited to continue our second annual program, Evening at the Museum, offering special evening hours once a month from May through October. From 4 to 6 p.m., visitors are invited to explore the museum for free admission, making the museum accessible to everyone.
Unlike typical daytime visits, Evening at the Museum will feature rotating days of the week each month to better accommodate the diverse schedules of our community members. Upcoming dates are:
- Thursday, Sept. 10, 4 to 6 p.m. with a reception for Tiny Gallery featured artist Deborah Page
- Saturday, Oct. 10, 4 to 6 p.m.
During each evening event, the entire museum will be open to the public. In addition, member-only guided tours will be offered as a special benefit for both new and existing Historical Society members. Pre-register at our website to save your spot!
“We’re excited to make it easier for everyone to visit the museum,” Erin Cough, executive director of the Bar Harbor Historical Society, said. “Whether you’re new to town, working during the day, or simply enjoy a quiet evening exploring history, Evening at the Museum welcomes you.”
Join the historical society for these special evenings and experience Bar Harbor’s rich history in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. Whether you’re a longtime resident or a first-time visitor, there’s something new to discover.
