Abbe Museum, Native American museum in Bar Harbor, United States
The Abbe Museum operates two locations in Bar Harbor: a year-round downtown facility and a seasonal museum at Sieur de Monts Spring.
Dr. Robert Abbe, a New York surgeon and summer resident, established this museum in 1928 to preserve Native American artifacts from the Frenchman Bay region.
The museum maintains over 50,000 objects representing the heritage of Maine's four Native communities: Maliseet, Micmac, Passamaquoddy, and Penobscot Nations.
The downtown location remains open throughout the year, while the Sieur de Monts Spring site welcomes visitors from Memorial Day until Indigenous Peoples' Day.
The museum holds the most extensive collection of Maine Indian basketry, documenting the craft traditions of Wabanaki communities across generations.
