we took a walking tour of Castine with the Historical Society. The tour was a lovely walk stopping at points and places of interest in this lovely historical town. The tour lasted a little over an hour, Dabney was our guide - great tidbits of information about the town past and present, a lovely stroll and very interesting. Highly recommend.If you didn't love the town before, you certainly will after.
