Outdoor Heritage Museum

One of my favorite museums I’ve been to and absolutely the best museum about the culture, history, and nature of northwest Maine. There are great taxidermy fish and animals, plus huge mounts of caribou and moose antlers. There’s a lot of great detailed info about the local fly fishing history and the gift shop is full of unique and beautiful artwork. Not to mention the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable, they seem super passionate about their jobs!

This is such a wonderful museum, very interesting about the Rangely Lakes region, fly fishing history, interesting maps and stuffed fish, beautiful art! And some of the original flys made by the famous artisans.

Such a wonderful museum with very interesting displays and artifacts. Me and my mom really enjoyed ourselves.

I had not visited the Outdoor Heritage museum in Oquossuc in several years and this time it was even better than I remembered. The exhibits really give you a great impression of the interesting outdoor history of the region. The young lady (Ashley) working at the museum the day I visited with my friends was very helpful as she provides us with a brief spiel about the the main museum exhibits as well as other interesting info about the area. Along with her local knowledge it turns out she is one of the leading real estate agents in the Rangley region. All in all the museum was one of the highlights of my recent camping trip to Oquossuc and I am sure I will visit again.

Must visit, admission is very reasonable and used for a piece of history. There is a full 100+ year old cabin inside the building. Alot to see. Check it out.

Loads of interesting stuff here staffed by charismatic people. Today they had a person carving using a chain saw, as well as people who were tying flies. Well worth your time to drop in and check out a great small museum!

This little museum is worth a trip! There's so much packed into it! As you enter there is a recreated room from a historic log cabin with its furniture, accoutrements and a short video documentary about Rangely Lakes you can sut down to. Other rooms have historic items and artifacts from the area. My favorite are the First Nations stone tools and artifacts. The gift shop has tempting items as well. There's a pub across the street, a country store kitty corner, and good parking so you can take your time relax, visit the museum, grab a bite or a drink, all walking distance.

What a great place to visit. My boyfriend and I were passing through on our vacation and decided to stop in and so glad we did. We got to learn about the Rangeley area history.
