Very reasonable priced admission. Me and my Wife the world war 2 rooms more interesting but there's nothing wrong with the other exhibits, they just weren't for us. Staff friendly and polite. You can park outside the premises which is handy if your or pone of your party has difficulty in walking far.

There's an amazing little museum in downtown Kennebunk where I'll bet many residents have never been-- the Brick Store Museum. Entrance is by donation (please don't be cheap). Take your time seeing all of the details upstairs and downstairs. You'll enjoy yourself and be surprised at what you've experienced!

History museums are a great way to learn about the area you are visiting. The Brick Store Museum is one of the best in the country. Round out your vacation with some education.

We normally don't visit museums during our travels but my husband was set on this one - wanted to see the original portrait of Captain Fairfield (I referred to it as the Brick HOUSE museum in another review, oops) GREAT history and information of the area and great WWII propaganda tribute. We went in on a quiet tuesday afternoon (after Labor Day) and enjoyed ourselves! Definitely add this to your to-do list when in Kennebunk!

there are lots of items. Excellent display. We try to do two things a day. The museum is good and the ship rides are great.

As a Kennebunk resident, I have visited the Brick Store Museum many times (I am a member) either solo or bringing friends who are visiting. The Museum is on Main Street and is a collection of 4 connected buildings, a lovely courtyard, and a program center. From the moment you walk in, you feel you have stepped back 100-200 years. Kennebunk was synonymous with ship building and fortunes were made and lost by the core families. All this and more is captured in this small Museum. In addition to the permanent collections, new exhibits are introduced throughout the year. Two annual events not to be missed are: the All Souls Walk (around Hallowed Eve) where volunteers dressed in period clothing walk you to the nearby Hope Cemetery where you meet several deceased citizens; and the Christmas Tea where one of the Summer Street mansions is open to the public to view and enjoy refreshments. Like the Kennebunk Free Library, the Brick Store Museum is a Kennebunk treasure.

My husband and I visited the museum on a Saturday when they offer a special $10 family admission. We enjoyed learning about local family and shipbuilding history. The WW II Victory Garden propaganda posters' display complete with their own victory garden and seeds for families to take home so they can plant their own was outstanding. We thoroughly enjoyed the painting collection by Louis D. Norton.

The Brick Store has several rooms of frequently changing exhibits focused on the Kennebunk area and its historical connections. They maintain a copious files of historical photo's and documents, available to the public for research.

Excellent archives and well-designed displays bring the past to the present community. This museum is housed in three former stores, connected to provide enough space for good exhibits.

Physically the Museum is comprised of several joined contiguous historic houses on Main Street. There are usually 2-3 display themes in place at once and they change several times through the year. The Brick store staff are available to answer questions. Bottom line = it is worth a visit to experience an original history sharing.
