The Maine State Prison Showroom offers a unique shopping experience, showcasing impeccable craftsmanship and high-quality handmade wood products. The furniture and décor items are made by the prison's residents, rivaling Amish home furnishings in their quality and attention to detail. Customers can find a wide assortment of solid wood items, from simple shelves to beautifully crafted furniture, all with quality finishes and English dovetail drawers. While the inventory may have been better in the past, the showroom still provides an excellent opportunity to purchase regional, made-in-the-USA items at fairly good prices. Visitors are welcomed and feel safe, and the additional funds earned from sales go back to the prison to support the program and purchase materials. Overall, the Maine State Prison Showroom is a unique and worthwhile destination for those seeking high-quality, handcrafted wood products, while also supporting a program that provides valuable skills and opportunities for the prison's residents.
This is a must visit if you're in the area. The woodwork is incredible and they have something for everyone. The variety of cutting boards is astounding. I walked away with a jewelry box and Christmas ornaments.

Courteous, helpful, friendly staff in a large room of an assortment of top quality wooden creations. Often nautical themed. My only complaint is the front entry steps are quite steep so no handicap entrance
