Before Kennebunkport became known for its boutique hotels, charming shops, and award-winning restaurants, it was a humble settlement that grew into one of the most important shipbuilding and commerce ports on the East Coast. Later, this seaside town evolved into a hardworking, blue-collar fishing village, where generations of families made their living from the ocean.

​

Kennebunkport’s story took another turn when the Bush family established their summer home just a few miles away, putting this Maine coastal town firmly on the map as a world-famous summer tourist destination.
