Reviews of Rufus Porter Museum of Art and Ingenuity
"This is a jewel of a small town museum dedicated to a fascinating painter, writer and inventor. The museum also sponsors programs for kids to promote innovation. Absolutely with the visit. You will be impressed."
"Fascinating little museum located on Main St. In Bridgton. It features the life and works of Rufus Porter, a multi-talented and underappreciated man of his time. He was the founder of the American Scientific magazine, a portrait & wall mural painter and prolific inventor (Colt handgun, floating dock, blimp and many more). They have a few examples of his work and those of his proteges. They are trying to raise money to open a larger building to display many more works that are currently in storage. Come on out and support this wonderful museum!!"
"Adorable museum with great examples of Porter's murals, portraits, and inventions. Friendly and knowledgeable staff made the tour fantastic! They also have a cute gift shop with many local and regional wares."
"This place is truly a hidden gem. The staff here are so friendly and are so dedicated to not only preserving and expanding this museum, but educating the public about this amazing man. It's refreshing to see such passion for local history. Rufus Porter is a little-known historical figure but should be revered as a great American because of his scientific and artistic contributions to early America. We had an excellent educational experience here and every visitor to Bridgton should stop in to learn about this larger-than-life character and help this museum grow."
"Since being moved to the center of Bridgton, this Museum has gained a rightful place as a centerpiece of this 250-year old Town."
