Located near Portland on Peak Island, the 5th Maine Museum is a small museum just a 20-minute ferry ride from the city, with boats leaving nearly every hour. The museum is then around a 10-minute walk from the landing, but golf cart rentals and the island taxi are available from the boat landing as well. The 5th Maine Museum’s first floor is devoted entirely to the history of the Fifth Maine regiment, with pictures and artifacts lining the museum walls. The second floor, however, is focused on the history of Peak Island dating back to the 1800’s through present day.
