First Amendment Museum at the Gannett House — Attraction in Augusta

Think you know the First Amendment? Maybe it's time for a refresher! We went to the museum to see the current exhibition "I Am Woman: Maine Activists" - paintings by Robert Shetterly from his "Americans Who Tell the Truth" series - and ended up doing a free tour, which was informative, entertaining and fun! The exhibitions are thought provoking and really well done. They are in the midst of restoring the historic Gannett House and grounds, so the First Amendment Museum will just keep getting better and better. Highly recommend a visit this to this gem of a museum in...

What an interesting little museum! We enjoyed the tour and getting time to wander around on our own after it. Highly recommend going with someone who you can talk through the exhibits with, but it’d be fun on your own, too. We were the first to join our tour, but Max seamlessly included two new groups of arrivals even after he’d started our tour. I would definitely return; I’m sure there are things I didn’t get to and there are some exciting...

Good concept, but it's not quite there yet. Felt very amateur. I was really excited about this museum as I've studied a lot of first amendment stuff. Also, building is hot, especially upstairs and kinda grungy.

Tour guide kept getting bugged about some important 2 pm meeting while giving the tour. They also don't follow their own schedule. We arrived 10 minutes before the hour and he had already gone through...
