The Bangor Old Custom House, a striking Victorian building on the seafront, once controlled trade into the port. Today it's a museum where visitors can explore the town's maritime past through hands-on displays, including a replica ship's wheel and cargo scales. The building itself is a highlight, with original mahogany counters and a preserved strong room. You'll learn about smugglers, local merchants, and the evolution of Bangor harbor.
