Everything you need to know about shipbuilding in St. Martins
First settled in 1783, the village of St Martins was a major maritime destination during the Golden Age of Sail. With over 500 vessels launched off of our shores, the vessels built here sailed all over the world and brought back ideas and architectural designs which the Captains, wealthy shipbuilders, and mariners applied to the construction of their own homes. The shipbuilding and lumbering industry in the area once supported a population of nearly 4000 people. The Quaco Museum attempts to do justice to the vibrant past of St Martins by preserving and promoting our history through exhibits, activities, and education. With guided tours and a hands-on approach to history, you certainly won't regret making a stop at the Quaco Museum

Not To Be Missed
You may pass by thinking there is not much to see. You would be wrong. This is a great little museum about ship building in the town. Some interactive pieces for kids. Donation only admission. Our guide Brianna was delightful and extremely knowledgeable. Takes maybe 1/2 hr at most.

Nice little museum
A small museum, but very informative and our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. No entry fee but they appreciate donations, and it is well worth it. It was a nice little visit.
