One of Yankee Magazine’s Top 12 Places to Stay on the Water, the Eighth Maine Regiment Memorial Building is located just a short 15 minute ferry ride from downtown Portland. It is both a Civil War museum and a Victorian era lodge overlooking the beautiful Atlantic shoreline. Come relax and enjoy the communal atmosphere that the veteran's created to share with their families and comrades in arms as well as the many recreational activities on scenic Peaks Island and in the greater Portland area.
