From Maine to Mars
By Linda Tancs
Did you know that Maine is home to some of the most incredible gemstones on planet Earth? You’ll learn all about this geological history at the Maine Mineral & Gem Museum in Bethel. Although minerals are the cornerstone of the museum’s collections (particularly the Perham Collection), it also boasts a formidable display of meteorites from Mars, the Moon and the Asteroid Belt that teach us about the origins of our solar system. Buy your tickets online or at the admissions desk.
