Kennebunk straddles the Kennebunk River in southern Maine, and its riverfront position supported a long era of maritime trade and shipbuilding. The river runs east toward the Atlantic, linking the compact historic centre with the coast around Kennebunk Beach. In the 18th and 19th centuries, local yards built wooden sailing vessels, an industry that helped shape the town’s merchants’ homes and civic buildings. The Brick Store Museum, housed in a former 19th-century commercial building, documents this local past. Continue to other webcams in Maine to compare coastal and inland settings around Kennebunk.
