Eighth Maine Regiment Lodging

Peaks Island, Maine

Eighth Maine Regiment Lodging is a bed & breakfast located in Peaks Island.

Since the days it was constructed, the building was a site for the veterans to reconnect to their fellow soldiers in a beautiful setting. The Memorial provides a taste of the fellowship that the vets shared. For four years, the regiment marched, fought, and died side by side. After the war, the survivors vowed to maintain the bonds and the friendships they had formed. This Memorial was where those bonds were renewed each year. You are invited to experience the surroundings and traditions of the 8th Maine veterans in their Memorial Building. Enjoy our sun decks, shorefront, communal dining room, fireside gatherings, and full moon parties. In addition, we have numerous activities available in the Memorial Hall including cards, games, puzzles, sing-a-longs and Ping-Pong.

For History buffs, we have an extensive collection of Civil War Books, soldier's diaries and memorabilia. We also have a substantial collection of material on life on Peaks Island and in the Portland area over the last 136 years. Most of these materials are available in our museum room located in the main hall. It was formerly known as the Veteran's room and used for those who were unable to negotiate the stairs to the second floor.

We have a computer, scanner and printer located in this room to support researchers and those seeking to explore their genealogy. We also have broadband internet and WiFi service available to our guests.

Nearby restaurants include Cockeyed Gull, North43bistro, G'vanni's Piccolo Pomodoro, and Saltwater Grille.
