The Maine Mineral & Gem Museum rock garden in Bethel formally opens August 18.
The Maine Mineral & Gem Museum in Bethel is dedicating a new rock garden to former Bowdoin geology professor Arthur M. Hussey. Described by the museum as “Maine’s most most unique geological exhibit,” the garden officially opens at 6 p.m., Friday August 18, 2017, and will feature twenty-two “truly amazing geological specimens from around the state (and one mammoth specimen from outer space!)”
Hussey taught at Bowdoin for thirty-nine years and died last year. He was 85. Read more in Bowdoin News.
