Posting cadence

Unknown from direct fetch — all pages return 403.

Fetch quirks

BLOCKED. The entire farnsworthmuseum.org domain returns HTTP 403 Forbidden to automated requests. No content can be retrieved directly. Events appear in other sources (Midcoast Villager, PenBay Pilot, Maine Public Calendar) and in web search results. Scout should check those secondary sources for Farnsworth events rather than fetching this site directly.

Quality judgment

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Important institution, unfetchable directly. Farnsworth is a top-tier cultural anchor for Rockland, but the site blocks scraping. Coverage flows through primary sources (PenBay Pilot, Midcoast Villager) which reliably report Farnsworth events. Not useful as a direct data source until the block is resolved.

Coverage notes

• First Friday Artwalk monthly series is a key recurring event (observed via web search)
• Docent tours confirmed May–Oct, Thu/Fri/Sat at 11am and 2pm
• Betsy Wyeth memoir workshop June 24–26 (confirmed from Maine Public search results)
• Status set to paused — revisit if a scrape-friendly URL is discovered (RSS, iCal, API)
