Portland Observatory

Located in the immigrant-era Etz Chaim Synagogue, this museum tells the stories of Maine’s Jewish families and showcases Jewish artists from the area.

Former rail beds are often turned into trails. At this one you can walk, run, bike or swim for active relaxation within the city.

Built on an old rail corridor along the easternmost portion of Portland’s peninsula, this waterfront trail offers stunning views of the harbor and Atlantic Ocean.

Swim in the Atlantic Ocean, stroll along the sand-and-pebble shoreline or enjoy a picnic with unbeatable views at Portland’s public beach.

As you tour this historic brick home, trace three generations of Maine family history and learn about the cultural and political impact of its family members.

Learn about the local history of Portland with a stop at Abyssinian Meeting House.
