Please note that I am not the Matinicus Chamber of Commerce. I cannot help you plan your vacation, rent a cottage or find property for sale.

A list of contacts for rental cottages and other useful information may be found on www.matinicusexcursions.com 

If you are doing genealogy and have historical questions, please contact Town Historian Suzanne Rankin at:

(207) 366-3941, matinicushistorical@yahoo.com, or check out www.matinicushistory.org.

If you need the Municipal Office, call (207) 366-3970 and leave a detailed message. The office is not staffed full-time.

If you are planning a visit to Matinicus you might find some of the links in the "Other links we recommend" section above useful.

The map below is more amusing than useful. It is not particularly accurate, and is thus not, as they say, "for navigational purposes." The road names aren't even right. Matinicus Island is roughly 23 miles out to sea from Rockland, gets roughly 30 vehicle ferry trips a year, and driving directions might be best rendered as "go to Rockland and turn southeast." I wouldn't.

Please send me an e-mail if you'd like to purchase books by check or if you would like multiple copies to one address (I'll figure out the postage and write back). Please send me an e-mail if you'd like to discuss a book signing or other event, or if you want to talk about a writing project, or you need a CPR instructor, or you know anything about Lithuanian socket wrenches.

Please don't send me an e-mail if you have in mind that we will engage in island gossip. I am far too serious-minded for that.
