Visit Lovely Freeport, Maine

By: Angela Katsis

Freeport, Maine is the small town generally known as the birthplace of the state of Maine. It was founded as a small parcel of land attached to the town of North Yarmouth in the late 18th century. In fact, the town was freed from North Yarmouth on the Fourth of July in 1889, the date that coincides with our nation's independence.

As is common with all port cities, Freeport, situated on the Atlantic coast, has a thriving fishing industry. But it was also popular for shipbuilding and continues the business even today. If you visit Freeport, visit these historic shipbuilders to see the technique of building ships at that time.

Travel to Freeport, Maine is quite east. It is just 20 miles from Portland and a two hours drive from Boston. If you wish to enjoy the beauty of the fall months of the Northeast and see the beautiful foliage, it is strongly recommended that you make the drive from Boston. Those of you, who wish to save time, take a flight to Portland and then make a drive from there. Freeport is hardly half an hour drive away from Portland.

Without a doubt, the most popular attraction in this beautiful Maine town is L.L. Bean. Long home to the incredibly durable outdoor outfitters, people come from near and far to visit the flagship store and factory. The flagship store boasts an indoor trout pond and rock climbing wall. Open 24 hours a day each and every day a year, make the trip to visit where it all began!

Maine is known for it’s great outdoors, so take time to enjoy all Mother Nature has to offer in Freeport. Whether you are walking, hiking, or biking the many trails and parks that are in or around the town. Consider tackling Bradbury Mountain, which offers incredible views of the surrounding area from its summit. If you are bringing your family to Maine, be sure to plan a couple outdoor activities for you to spend quality time together and for young ones to burn off some excess energy.

Wildlife lovers have great sights to watch and experience in Freeport. Bird watchers from all over the country and abroad come here to watch the vast and diverse variety of birds. Home to the Atlantic seals, Maine offers you to see the seals in their native environment if you plan to go on a seal boat tour. Also make a trip to the Sequin Island Lighthouse or Eagle Island.

Wolfe's Neck Farm is a fantastic 600 acre farm where animals are raised naturally without any hormones or antibiotics. Here you can see exactly how organic cattle and sheep grazing works, and understand how eating this untreated meat is better for your body. Kids enjoy the farm to watch the sheep grazing in the lush fields.

Visit Freeport, Maine for a never before felt experience. It would be a great way to spend some quality time with your family and explore America, to boot.
