Abstract:
Begun in 1965 by Marvin Johnson and his wife Mary, the Gourd Museum in Kennebec contains a unique collection of the vegetable. With some dating to 1804, the gourds represent many shapes, designs, and countries. For “gourders,” or people who grow gourds or make works of art out of them, this museum is their mecca. Mary died in 1986 and Marvin in 2002. The museum is now maintained by Marvin's nephew, Mark Johnson.
