Here is their web page:

And, it actually is in Machias.

There is a deposit fee that goes towards your membership, and that gets you in the wait list. You have to be a member of the NRA. Monday nights usually kick off around Memorial Day/end of May depending on volunteers and availability and run through mid August.
