To illuminate and advance greater understanding of and support for Wabanaki Nations’ heritage, living cultures, and homelands. In recent years, the Abbe has grown from a small trailside museum, privately operated within Acadia National Park, to an exciting contemporary museum in the heart of downtown Bar Harbor. At the Abbe's downtown museum, visitors find dynamic and stimulating exhibitions and activities interspersed with spaces for quiet reflection. The history and cultures of the Native people in what we now know as Maine, the Wabanaki, are showcased through changing exhibitions, special events, teacher workshops, and workshops for children and adults.
