Wednesday, December 31
117 main street, kennebunk, Kennebunk
Featuring the Museum's own c. 1899 Wabanaki birch bark canoe and an array of vintage paddles and oars on loan from the private collection of Kate Manko, this exhibit is equal parts history, art, and nostalgia. Reflect upon Kennebunkport's "Indian Village" at the turn of the 20th century, the makings of a birchbark canoe, and canoeing traditions on the Kennebunk River. Appreciate the utilitarian simplicity of the hand-crafted wooden paddles, many of which are painted in a folk art tradition with scenes and names conjuring up images of Maine's natural beauty. Made possible by Cape Arundel Inn.
