Visit the Seal Cove Auto Museum

The Seal Cove Auto Museum is one of the best antique brass car collections in the world. The collection includes over 100 rare and beautiful automobiles, and over 30 antique motorcycles.

Seal Cove Auto Museum is located in the Town of Seal Cove, Maine, near Bar Harbor on the spectacular island of Mount Desert. Its beautiful setting looks across Seal Cove Pond to Acadia National Park.

Seal Cove is approximately a three-hour drive from Portland, Maine, and about a one-hour drive from Bangor, Maine. Air service is provided by US Air Express from Boston to Bar Harbor on a daily basis.

To get to the museum, take Route 3 from Ellsworth toward Mount Desert Island. Just after the bridge onto Mt. Desert, bear right at the light onto Route 102 toward Southwest Harbor. After driving through the Town of Somesville, turn right just past the fire department onto Pretty Marsh Road and drive 5.8 miles. The Seal Cove Auto Museum is a large blue building, set back from the right side of the road, directly across from Seal Cove Pond.

The museum is open 10-5, seven days a week, from June 1 through September 15.
