Nervous Nellie's is a cottage industry (jams and chutneys made with mostly Maine fruit) in a cottage. It's a sculpture studio and acres of whimsical sculptures and installations of American icons like the general store, the juke joint, a western town complete with saloon, sheriff, jail, Chinese laundry, fortune teller, church, Grail castle and wizard's tower all made in Peter Beerits's quirky style, using re-purposed "junk" from the island dump and countless old barns. Little ones enjoy the sandbox under a grape arbor, while parents relax in Adirondack chairs close at hand. Try free jam samples in the shop or have a homemade scone with jam in the tea room. Something for everyone here!

Quirky destination with a family fun atmosphere. Plan on spending at least an hour to absorb the surrounding art installation composed of found objects and imagination. You will feel like a kid again exploring all the wonderfully vivid and unique pieces. Adorable jam and preserve shop with additional tempting finds. One of a kind experience.

5. The Art of Evelyn Kok Gallery
I'm not the owner but had an interesting visit in the gallery that was really a gem of beautiful and authentic Maine artwork - one of the nicest I've ever seen. I'd be happy to give more information but this is really an amazing place that should be a point of interest in beautiful Stonington, Maine.
