Southern Maine Area Sightseeing
Southern Maine Area
Sight Seeing
Vacationers come to the Kennebunks in all seasons because there is
so much to see. Walking the historic village of Kennebunkport you
witness historic sea captain’s homes and the working waterfront
where ships were launched, and lobstermen have hauled their catch
for centuries. You can take an architectural tour to learn more
about the seaside mansions and colonial homes, or drive along the
coast to see roadside clamshacks, summer cottages and lighthouse
like Goat Island Light in Cape Porpoise.
A must “sea” along Ocean Avenue is Blowing Cave and Spouting Rock (pictured at bottom of page), part of the seaside walk called Parsons Way. This scenic seaside path also takes you by President Bush’s so called “summer White House,” the family compound of Barbara and George Bush on spectacular Walkers Point.
Summer
Street is famous for its magnificent homes that are so historic and
beautifully landscaped, some are rumored to be haunted. The Wedding
Cake House is one of the most photographed homes in Maine, so you
must see this architecturally unique home in Kennebunk. The Brick
Store Museum and The Nott House, part of the Kennebunkport
Historical Society, offer guided tours of these famous seaside towns
and the historic homes.
Nature lovers should visit Laudholm Farm and Rachel Carson Wildlife Preserve, to view the saltwater marsh that provides a habitat for birds and estuary wildlife.
The Seashore Trolley Museum is a fun place for families and train buffs, you can ride on restored rail cars into the Maine countryside, train trips are narrated by conductors to add to the authenticity.
