Founded in 1987, Portland Harbor Museum is an exciting place to explore and celebrate the rich maritime history of Portland Harbor.
The 510 Congress Street building is in the heart of the central business district, and the city's Arts District. The Portland Museum of Art, the Children's Museum, the Maine College of Art, The Salt Institute, the Maine Historical Society, and the Portland Public Library are within 2 ½ blocks of the new site.
Children and school groups are admitted to Portland Harbor Museum at no charge. A nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, the museum depends on membership dues, tax-deductible contributions, and adult admission fees to support its mission.
