Upcoming Events

Our Second Annual Mini-Golf Charity Benefit at Golfers Crossing in Rockport has been rescheduled for Saturday, September 20 from 10-12.  Join us for an enjoyable Fall outing without any crowds!  Last year's event was a resounding success, with players ranging in age from 4 to 94.  The family-friendly outing offers a fun way for players to support our education programs for youth while also learning about our mission.

This Summer, we continue to offer off-site talks at area Libraries and venues, including virtually on-demand.  Give us a call if you'd like to reserve a presentation.

Topics include:  Saluting Sled Dogs

                          An Overview of Maritime Pets and Their Role in History

                          The Intersection of Marine Art and Natural History

                          Lighthouse Mascots

We hope to continue our working water breed workshops next year, and if you have a classic water dog, please get in touch!  Recent museum visitors have included a Keeshond and a Schipperke, so we know they are out there!  

Later this Summer, we will be presenting a joint program highlighting the benefits of senior pet ownership and adoption.  Details to be provided when a date has been set!


Our STEAM  (Science/Technology/Engineering/Art/Math) program, Exploring a New America, focuses on the Lewis and Clark Corps of Discovery Expedition of 1804-06.  

This innovative program is geared for several learning levels and consists of three separate modules.  The series fosters young entrepreneurs, historians, leaders, scientists and teachers by providing the opportunity to study and practice one or more skills in each of the five STEAM areas. Our programs are available for lower through upper school levels, home schoolers and Scout groups. 

The series takes a new look at the expedition's crew members, including Seaman, the Newfie who excelled at many tasks and completed the 8000 mile trip with the crew!  Give us a call to schedule a session at your location or remotely. 

If you have an idea or suggestion for a program or a research question, please let us know. 207-390-5909 or info@museumofmaritimepets.org

Library and youth reading programs are available year-round, featuring stories and exhibits about maritime pets throughout the ages and from around the world. Call or email to arrange a program for your group at 207-390-5909 or info@museumofmaritimepets.org
