Innkeepers come and go, but some employees choose to stay. Such is the case with the ghost at the Kennebunk Inn. Cradled between the Kennebunk and Mousam Rivers, the town of Kennebunk, Maine, has a rich history of agriculture, shipbuilding, and Federal-style architecture that lend the town an aura of historical value that manifests itself […]

I live in New Hampshire, but I love to head over to the coast Maine every summer. More specifically, to Goose Rocks Beach in Kennebunkport. It is our favorite place.
