The opportunity to experience Maine’s impressive history comes in many different forms.

This Kennebunkport bed and breakfast was constructed in 1812 and still retains its original historic feel. You’ll feel as though you’ve traveled back in time when you experience the timeless beauty of this inn.

Few places along the coast of Maine are quite as historic or breathtaking as the Captain Lord Mansion. This nineteenth-century home is filled to the brim with gorgeous furnishings and also happens to be the largest building in the village of Kennebunkport.
