The 1916 Alamo Theatre is owned and operated by Northeast Historic Film, a nonprofit regional motion picture archive. We offer quality movies that you would have to travel quite a distance to see otherwise. We offer digital projection, Dolby 7.1 Surround Sound and a Bose Wave Cannon for great picture and incredible sound. There are assistive listening devices available at all of our shows and Open Captions are offered at most of our Sunday matinees.
There are also many live performances on Wednesdays all summer long, the Outdoor Movie in July, as well as special events, like the only maritime themed film festival in the country. The International Maritime Film Festival takes place in early October.
Our prices are $8 for general admission, $7 for seniors and students and a crazy $5 for Members of Northeast Historic Film. Our concession prices are ridiculously low. You can't beat the real buttered popcorn and the choices for drinks aren't just cups of ice. You get an entire bottle's worth!

I always feel stymied when I try to describe Nervous Nellie's: a cottage industry that is actually in a cottage? A quirky living museum of island life and culture? A folk art sculpture garden that feels magical, hilarious and poignant all at once? A colorful shop of handmade goods and a tea room with homemade goodies? A sandbox with great toys? A dog that smiles? It is a treat for us to see people explore the grounds, discover the unexpected, poke into the kitchen when the kettle is boiling to have a sniff and chat up our cook, Patty. I love to eavesdrop on the ecstatic moans as people taste the jam samples for the first time, watch a child come upon a sculpture that brings delight, or see someone simply relaxing in the autumn sun on the deck, hands cupped around steaming mug of coffee watching everyone else explore, discover, and be delighted

People have been drawn to the rugged coast of Maine throughout history. Awed by its beauty and diversity, early 20th-century visionaries donated the land that became Acadia National Park. The park is home to many plants and animals, and the tallest mountain on the U.S. Atlantic coast. Today visitors come to Acadia to hike granite peaks, bike historic carriage roads, or relax and enjoy the scenery.
