Located in the heart of Phippsburg, Maine, 47 Wallace Circle is a multi-dimensional maritime facility serving as a collaborative epicenter for Maine’s aquaculture and working waterfront.
Historically known as "The Store," this landmark building has evolved into a tiered ecosystem. Today, it serves as the shared headquarters for several distinct maritime businesses. We are built around generational families, "from aways," and visitors alike—providing working waterfront access, a hub for educational experiences, and serving as the de facto headquarters for The Basin Oyster Restoration Project.
(And yes, at times, we host a secret weekend Pokemon Club!)
Our experiences are unique and non-cookie cutter. Our hope is you leave feeling like you are part of the community with a genuine sense of what life on the coast of Maine can be like.
