We stopped in the Sail Power and Steam Museum while walking on the Rockland Harbor Trail, and we highly recommend it to anyone in the Rockland area. It is a must-see if you are interested in the local history and maritime history, with a large and unique collection of items. I recommend using the guided DVD tour so that you can hear Captain Jim Sharp's stories and information about each room.

This museum has a very large collection of three generations of the Wyeth family and should be a got to for anyone visiting or staying in Rockland. There are other artists represented from the 1800's on and it is a good place to learn a bit about the history of the area. Tickets prices are $15, with a discount to $13 for seniors. Well worth it.
