👍👍 A beautiful, classic theater with ornate architectural details. A charming step back in time! Whether viewing your performance from the balcony or floor, there is not a bad seat in this house! It was a perfect venue to see my favorite female singer, Wynonna❤ I'll be back and I hope she will be too...

👍👍 Cute tourist attraction. As a 90s kid I really enjoyed visiting the statue. Easy nearby parking allows for a quick detour if you are in the area.

👍 Nice old toll bridge for people. Google maps brought me to an industrial side with no parking, best to go to Head of the Falls park and enjoy it from there. The bridge has recently been redone and looks amazing for its age. The toll booth is the red box but doesn't look like much from the inside.

👍 Parking was horrendous (but expected when visiting any lighthouse area on a weekend). Decent views & multiple spots to step away from the crowds. There was a small beach area, but couldn't get near the water there because a family was using the whole spot for fishing. Theres a cool little cave area...

Historical objects, furniture displays & tours of the only active Shaker community in the world.

It was so wonderful to talk to him and hear about the history of places in Maine, and see the b...

👍👍 Went here as a child brought my child for the first time today. She did not like the thought until we got there she said it was the worlds best place! The view and the time spent with loved one. We saw the lighthouse it was her first time seeing one!

👍👍 Incredible old building. The inside has been blocked off so you can't enter the building itself, but you can see through the windows ans doorways. Remnants of the old fore places are still present and the stone work is amazing. Incredible to walk around and think about how many lives came and went f...
