We spent an afternoon walking around Porter Preserve and it is an absolute gift to the area. There are so many scenic views, sweet benches to rest on and wonderful tunnels through the thick trees. We loved exploring here.

Great collection of local artist's work. If you are looking for something to remind you of your trip to coastal Maine (Downeast), this place is one-stop shopping. Purchased an item perfect for completing a room in our home in Tampa and Susan shipped it directly to us. Great place to bring home some truly unique art.

Eventide Specialties is a very special place in the center of Boothbay Harbor and the perfect place for fresh baked breads, delicious cheeses, specialty items and an entire room dedicated to olive oils and vinegars. The staff are kind and knowledgable.

Did the full loop walk on this beautiful trail that offers stunning views of the Maine rockbound coast. It's an easy walk with a little change in elevation. Nicely groomed and not very heavy usage added to the enjoyment.

A great place for easy hiking trails and picnics for family fun.

We very much enjoyed hiking Oven's Mouth. Lots of nice scenery along the way (the only way I will hike). There are many roots and rocks, so you need to have careful footing. We had walking sticks, and I was glad I did.

We are a community of local farmers, fishermen, and artisans who bring our finest quality to each Thursday morning market. We started in 2000 with just a few farmers and we now have 25 members. Taste delicious samples of fresh, local food at our market.

We didn't go to the Library this year but the used bookstore is still open, by appointment. The selection is as grand as usual we love to just browse. We have had great luck with the Military History sections, poetry, religion and the potpourri of books on the wall to the left of the register desk, really an eclectic selection. Allow at least an hour. Also and I forgot to add this to my review of the Skydompha Library Used Book store in Damiriscotta, bring any books (or CDs, DVDs) you can to donate them. They will be found and enjoyed by someone else and the library will get the benefit from the sale, they get a good chunk of money every year from this store.
