 Historic
Port of Call Reborn
The Island City of Eastport represents America at its most natural,
most serene, and most inviting. It is not only the Port of Entry
for those who visit “Downeast” Maine; it is a port of
scenic beauty. Come, make your plans for the future, make a stop
at a “Historic Port of call Reborn.”
The
magnetism of the harbor draws visitors from around the world. Blessed
with its historic waterfront, its Federal, Greek Revival, and Victorian
houses; eighteenth and nineteenth century architecture, the city
as a whole could be deemed a historic site. The Eastport area offers
the visitor a bounty from the sea in a variety of restaurants andlodgings.
But the most generous of bounties for our guests are the sublime
scenery, the serenity of a place unspoiled, and the warm welcome
offered to all who venture “Downeast” to the coast of
Maine.
