One of a kind... Freeport, Maine!
Freeport is a village rich with history, much of which is preserved for
enjoyment today. Freeport was founded in 1789 and folklore credits Freeport
with being "the birthplace of Maine". It was in Freeport at Jameson Tavern that
many meetings were held, where colonists debated a separation movement
from Massachusetts. Historical points of interest include the HarringtonHouse (1830), home of the Historical Society, housing exhibits and archives. The Pettengill Farm is a 19th century
salt water farm where visitors and local people alike can find exhibits of 19th
century coastal farm life. The Gore House is the home of a truly unique
McDonald's which visitors find extraordinary.
Points of interest include oceanfront grandeur of Wolfe's Neck Woods State Park, Winslow Park with a beach on Casco Bay, and Mast Landing Sanctuary, open daily for nature walks and guided tours; and we can't forget Maine's natural phenomenon - the Desert Dunes of Maine. Charming South Freeport Village offers a panoramic view of a working harbor, restaurants with great lobster, and scenic ocean cruises.
