Artsy Eastport
Art lovers will find one of America’ s best art museums in Eastport; the Tides Institute & Museum of Art’ s collections focus on traditional and contemporary art of the northeast coast. Equally important, the Eastport Arts Center nurtures and promotes theater, art, music, film, and events.
A stroll along Water Street will take you back in time with fun shops, galleries, restaurants, and cafes housed in red brick buildings dating to the late 1800s. Celebrating 126 years, Raye’ s Mustard has produced small-batch gourmet mustards right in Eastport since 1900. Their Pantry Store offers a wide selection of Maine Made foods.
