The Museum houses artifacts from Native American spear points to a piece of the balloon used in the Explorer II stratospheric ascent in November 1935. We have an extensive collection of late 19th century women's clothing.

We gratefully accept donations of all kinds, especially historical artifacts used in the past by our community. Other items:

The Belfast, Maine Museum in the Streets® is a heritage-discovery tour which features 30 panels and two large map panels. The tour is made up of photographs and interpretive text describing historic houses, the downtown, the waterfront and a few of our best-known men and women.

All panels give the viewer a sense of place. It is designed as a bi-lingual history walking tour. We have chosen French as the second language in recognition of the Franco-American community within Maine.

Our walking tours feature houses, churches and commercial structures of historic and architectural interest. All the structures are included in Belfast's Historic District, which is recognized by the National Register of Historic Places. The tours are free, self–guided, and include easy to follow maps. Tours can be picked up at the Belfast Museum and the Belfast Area Chamber of Commerce Information Center.

After many years of inactivity, the East Broad Top has been purchased by a new 501(c)(3) nonprofit foundation. With strong backing from prominent rail-industry leaders, the EBT Foundation will work with the volunteers of the Friends of the East Broad Top and the Rockhill Trolley Museum to return our Baldwin-built steam locomotives to operating condition and to continue stabilizing the railroad’s historic buildings. After nearly two years of restoration, we are proud to once again offer train rides, immersive guided tours, special events and so much more. The Foundation is especially grateful to the Kovalchick family for having preserved this National Historic Landmark since 1956, and to the employees, volunteers, and fans whose enthusiasm makes this monumental undertaking worthwhile.
