This collection of museums in Maitland preserves and honors a diverse array of art, history and cultures. Though there are the standards such as the Maitland Art Center, the Waterhouse Residence Museum and the Maitland Historical Museum, quirkier attractions include the Telephone Museum and Carpentry Shop Museum. The second Friday night of every month sees a gathering of the young and old, looking to gather for fine wines and fine art with like-minded company.
