Established in 1653, Kennebunkport offers much for the
history buff. Just outside the Inn’s door you’ll find many historic homes that have been restored and maintained to their original splendor when the shipping trade made the town one of the wealthiest in New England. From self guided architectural tours, to the
Brick Store Museum where the original portrait of Captain Fairfield hangs, you can take in the lore of this shipbuilding capital turned popular resort town. We suggest taking advantage of several tours that are offered in the summer months by the
Kennebunkport Historical Society, or purchase a guide book for a self-guided tour in the off season.
