Stopped by on a Sunday Morning and wandered across the old, Ivy league feeling campus. Almost every student smiled and said hi - so we felt welcomed and at home - even though we don't "go" here. We walked through the Student union which is a converted gymnasium -- now decorated with cool art, comfy sofas and a spiral walk to the third floor where there are many cozy hang out/study spaces. Felt like the Guggenheim museum :) There is also an inviting museum and countless old trees with outstretched arms waiting to greet you too.

A cold winter day and what a place to visit to get out of the cold & catch up on History. Spent 2 hours going through both floors. During the year, the museum changes out the exhibits. There's also a little gift shop & a elevator for access the upper floor.

We have been going to Maine for over 35 years as a couple and as children before that and we have never gotten off of Route 1 and gone into Brunswick. We were traveling with another couple and used Brunswick as our hub for three days. This allowed us to make several trips into town and we were able to explore the shops, restaurants, bakeries and coffee shops along with attractions like Bowdoin College, museums and historic homes and neighborhoods. Brunswick is rich in all of these and Maine Street is the main street where many can be found. I will review each attraction we visited separately, but needless to say, it is a charming town with much to offer and therefore a wonderful destination. We cannot believe we had not explore Brunswick before this. We are looking forward to returning.

This place is a must for any antique enthusiast and well worth the trip into Brunswick! It’s massive!! Tons of stalls to explore, all with a plethora of interesting pieces - and not just full of flotsam and jetsam either! Entering the parking lot is a little weird if you’re unfamiliar with the area...I ended up circling around a couple of times - be sure to take the turn into the lot BEFORE you get to the traffic light - bc there’s no entrance after you get to the light and turn - it sneaks up fast and isn’t well marked or anything! The building itself was a marvel - a massive old Victorian looking factory or (mill I’m guessing lol)! And so many stalls! I wasn’t gonna buy anything but of course I found an old, quaint French mustard jar I just had to have lol! They do well with the Covid precautions. There are bathrooms available through the back of the store in a giant empty warehouse space also.

Flight Deck Brewing opened to the public in early 2017, with the drive to provide greater-Brunswick with a destination brewery, casual social gathering space, and family-friendly venue for building our community. Located in the former Small Arms Range of the Brunswick Naval Air Station (now Brunswick Landing), our Tasting Room was named "Best in Maine" by Down East Magazine. With a constantly evolving tap list, food trucks, regular live music, and plenty of space to hang out with your dog (and/or human kids, too), we hope to see you soon!

Stopped by Flight Deck Brewing on a Monday afternoon. We really liked the brewery. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The beer was excellent and the food truck was outstanding as well. The décor and memorabilia are an added bonus. Definitely give it a try, we think you'll like it.
