It’s all good. The times are given in UTC, and EDT is 4hr behind that. Peak looks to be 2am UTC, which is 10pm EDT. Anytime between 9-12 tonight should be good. Just look north!

There's a specimen my grandfather found our family has on loan there. It's a neat place. I went when the tourmaline jewelry was there, but it may be out touring

They brought them out on Halloween and set up a telescope to look at the moon. It was way cool.

I went a year ago and had a rare opportunity to hold a piece of the Moon and Mars. They said they don't bring them out very often. I still feel so lucky.
Great musuem.

u/layne135, that would be fantastic. I would love to chat more, too. I know the area was huge for carriage making in that late 19th and early 20th century period. Just a fascinating history. Thanks for connecting, good to meet you!

I am a member of the Farmington Historical Society (next town over). Big lover of history, and we had the B.F. Watson Carriage Makers in Farmington Falls. Would love to chat more. I’ll contact some people who may have connections to Chesterville if you’d like more info.

Not trying to be the "just Google it guy" but... Just Google it. It's vastly quicker than sending a reddit telegram and waiting for a response. I typed in "mineral and gem mu-" and it immediately auto completed to https://mainemineralmuseum.org/.
But hey, jokes on me because you fooled me into doing it for you anyway... Dang it.

Same here!!! I came from 24 students, 5 SPed, 4 ESOL, 6 RTI Tier 2 at a suburb of Atlanta as well and now I have 9 kiddos total! I love the class size and the learning that is going on is simply amazing compared to behavior management/baby sitting I use to do in GA!

Last year or the year before we had a few inches of snow one weekend and were sweating bullets setting up the pool the next. Totally unpredictable

Skiing at Sunday River if that's your thing
Grafton Notch 15-20 minutes up the road has some good hiking and some waterfalls that are pretty
