    Had a lovely experience here last week! So great to see a museum thats free for a quick activity. As soon as we entered the museum a kind staff member took my two year old to do a scarecrow craft and he really enjoyed it! The museum is laid out wonderfully, felt we could explore and learn while our toddler toddled around. Again, the kind staff shared some other activities to do within the community and it was appreciated. Many thanks to the lovely people at the Mahone Bay Museum!
