According to Finance Buzz, Maine's 'weirdest' tourist attraction is The Umbrella Cover Museum on Peaks Island. Here's what they said about their pick:

The idea behind Portland’s Umbrella Cover Museum isn’t necessarily to observe the individual artistic patterns of umbrella covers, but to celebrate the mundane joys of everyday life.

To get to the museum, you’ll take a 20-minute boat ride off the coast of Portland where you’ll have ample time to enjoy the scenery.
