Brick Store Museum

The Brick Store Museum occupies several interconnected buildings along Main Street and displays collections about regional history, art, and everyday objects. The spaces contain maritime objects, household items, and other artifacts that document life in the area.

The institution began in 1936 when a private individual converted a brick commercial building from 1825 into a museum. This structure is part of a group of commercial buildings from the 1800s that were later connected together.

The museum displays works by artists from Northern New England alongside textile collections that reveal how people lived and created in the region. These items tell stories about daily life and artistic traditions that remain part of local identity.

Visiting is possible Tuesday through Friday with reduced hours on weekends, so check the exact times before going. The downtown location makes the museum walkable, and visitors should plan time to explore the different rooms and buildings.

The complex links four different commercial buildings from different phases of the 1800s that originally housed separate businesses. The internal connection provides a rare look at how these old commercial structures worked together.
