Formerly a shipbuilding town whose settlement dates to the 1600s, Kennebunkport is a classic Maine coast summer colony and a beloved home to presidents. Celebrated for its natural beauty, the town includes the historic fishing village of Cape Porpoise; gorgeous Goose Rocks Beach; stunning architecture, as exemplified by Greek Revival mansion White Columns; award-winning inns; and a wealth of attractions in and around Dock Square. Truly, Kennebunkport is “the place to be all year” (kennebunkport.org).

Maine Places to Love: Maine
“So You Think You Know Maine” was a quiz show once broadcast by public TV station Channel 10 in Lewiston. As the title’s challenge to contestants suggests, omniscience regarding our state is probably impossible. Consider Maine’s depth of history, and geographic expanse (35,385 square miles, waters included.) Then reflex on Maine’s boundless natural beauty: One needs a lifetime to explore the state’s wonders properly. To live in Maine is truly a journey of discovery.
