An engaged Board of Directors, a passionate Executive Director, and dozens of generous volunteers have been working to renovate The Waldo and restore it to its rightful position as a cultural center of Midcoast Maine. We reopened virtually in November of 2020 and in person in June of 2021, and continue to build programming.

Summer Fun at SGS

Southport General Store & Barn

Southport General Store & Barn

ESTABLISHED 1882

Serving Southport for Well Over a Century

 

ON THE ISLAND LOOP

Welcome to the “new” Southport General Store! We have been busily working to bring you a freshened-up version of our beloved store. We made some interior modifications, expanded the menu, and added other fresh details you will discover. We hope you love our new signs! The logo was designed by hand to reflect the heritage of the store and the island, using inspiration from historic store photos and Southport cartography. The signs themselves were hand-painted using traditional sign-making methods.

PULSE OF THE ISLAND

Island community is a special thing. Just about everywhere you go you see someone you know. Neighborly stop-to-chats and waves from passers-by. We love that our little store is unofficially the “pulse” of the island. We love to see people eating sandwiches on their truck tailgates, and bikes piled up against the building. We love having to stock the cookie supply multiple times a day. We love that we are a stop you make on your daily island loop, even if it is just to say hi.

WINE, BEER & CIDER

We take great pride in our thoughtfully curated wine collection. We feature a wide selection of varieties and vintages from around the globe, each one carefully chosen to complement any meal, picnic, or special occasion. We love to chat about wine and are always ready to assist you in finding the perfect bottle or two that you will love. 
 

We put the same care into selecting our beer, cider, and mixers and have an extensive variety with consistent as well as rotating and seasonal offerings. And we carry several local brews as well as a great many regional favorites!

Having a party? Want to give a case as a wedding gift? Stocking your own cellar? We would love to assist with all your special orders. 

DELI & GROCERIES

Our deli is popular — we have sliced meats, cheeses, grillables, and deli salads. And of course we make lunches and dinners to-go. We also stock dry goods and staples for everyday needs. If there is something you purchase often and we don’t have it, please just ask!

PROPANE, ICE & OTHER NECESSITIES

Our space is limited but we strive to supply you with home and boat necessities. Especially in the warmer months, you gotta keep that propane full for the grill (we have charcoal too) and the cooler iced down! We keep these things in plenty of stock.

THE BARN

A certified Maine Made retailer focused on supporting the robust community of traditional craft in Maine; also offering creative workshops and artist talks. With new pieces arriving regularly, the Barn is ever-evolving. You will find a gorgeous selection of handcrafted jewelry, glassworks, ceramics, and home goods, all lovingly crafted in Maine. We also have craft supplies, Maine-made yarn, books, and Southport gear!

WORKSHOPS & EVENTS

At the Barn, we believe everyone is creative. We offer hands-on craft workshops and artist talks from local makers highlighting how to live a creative life. The preservation of traditional craft is an essential, honorable pursuit that we are dedicated to supporting.

SHOP ONLINE

Did you forget something? Can’t make it to the island? Shop our unique, curated selection of Maine Made handcrafts & island merch, now from anywhere in the US! We have spent years finding these amazing makers and are so excited to send their work home to you.

Supporting Our Island Community

We are committed to supporting our Southport community, including financially by gifting at least 1% of our sales proceeds – a program we have named SGS Gives. As members of the community, we appreciate the contribution and impact of our island’s leading organizations and have provided financial support to the following:

Southport Central School

Southport Fire Department

Southport Historical Society, Hendricks Hill Museum

Southport Island Association

Southport Memorial Library

Southport Yacht Club, Junior Sailing Foundation

In 2020, we gifted in excess of $10,000, including a specific donation to the Southport Island Association directed to help our neighbors who were hardest hit by the coronavirus.

Sail Power & Steam Museum

Sail Power & Steam Museum

Welcome to SPSM!

Museums today are more interactive, and the Sail, Power, and Steam Museum is jumping on board. Here's what you can look forward to on your next visit:

  • A museum full of fascinating collections of our maritime and local industrial heritage
  • A fleet of in-water vessels for classes, day sails, and private charters (in season, by reservation)
  • Sailing and seamanship classes (by reservation)
  • Glorious day sails on the bay (by reservation)
  • Working boat models and a functioning scale model of a lime kiln
  • Steam engines that "puff" along just like they did in their heyday.
  • Volunteer opportunities to work with boats, to help in the museum, to help with events, and more.


We invite you to join us on the historic site of the Old Snow Shipyard on the waterfront in Rockland, Maine, as we live our mission of celebrating, honoring, experiencing, and sharing the story of Maine's maritime heritage.  

SO come on down, grab a Sextant off the shelf of our Navigation Display, bring the North Star down to the horizon -- you'll get Latitude 42° 7' 50.3652"' ... just like the early navigators did when they first discovered this special spot on the shores of Rockland Harbor.
