Andersonville National Historic Site Activities
We suggest you begin your visit in the National Prisoner of War Museum. A 27-minute audio-visual program entitled "Echoes of Captivity" provides an orientation to the overall prisoner of war story. Walking and/or driving through the National Cemetery and prison site are recommended. An audio driving tour is available for a $1.00 rental fee. A picnic area is located within the park. Interpretive Programs are presented at the historic prison site daily at 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.
Additional information can be obtained at the National Prisoner of War Museum information desk. Take a moment to explore the Teaching with Historic Places lesson plans and supporting materials developed especially to tell the Andersonville story.
Maine ocean islands provide the only nesting sites for Atlantic puffins in the United States. Eastern Egg Rock in the midcoast region, Seal Island and Matinicus Rock at the mouth of Penobscot Bay, and Machias Seal Island and Petit Manan Island off the downeast coast provide habitat for more than 4,000 puffins each summer.
