Freeport Historical Society


Does this picture look like a major shopping mecca in Maine? No it doesn't, but this is Main Street in Freeport and there are many major retail outlets surrounding these two handsome, historical buildings. So you can shop until you drop and then visit Freeport Historical Society for a lesson in local history. Freeport claims it is the birthplace of Maine. As a Realtor I have found Freeport Historical Society very helpful in researching older properties in town. As a member, I was given permission to use several old photographs in my marketing efforts to sell 1 - 2 Bartlett Court in South Freeport. The current exhibit is "Shipwrights, Shopkeepers & Privateers: The Enterprising Porter family of Freeport, ME"
