My grandparents lived on Freedom Song Road in Wiscasset all through my childhood. My grandfather worked at the BIW. I have many, many fond memories of summer vacations and, yes, even winter breaks there (COLD). I remember being able to walk up the road and pick bucket fulls of wild blueberries and raspberries. It was very “wild” in that part of town and we spent most days wandering around in the woods. I remember going to what I believe was Reny’s on Main Street, and of course Sarah’s. Red’s was not one of our stops; I think my grandparents found it too “busy”. There were trips to Skowhegan to the New Balance outlet, Dexter’s (I guess we needed a lot of shoes), Bath, Damariscotta… It is so comforting to see that it really hasn’t changed much since then from an outsider’s perspective.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures and those fabulous blue skies!
ReplyDeleteI love Maine. It’s a world unto itself. Some of my fondest memories in this life are being in Maine with my family. My father picking me up at school on a Saturday morning and driving to midcoast Maine to have lunch on the water.
ReplyDeleteSimply stunning! Thank you, so very much!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful portrait of what is called Maine's prettiest village. One building you might include here is the Wiscasset's Old Jail, open the the public as a local museum. Here's its web site https://www.lincolncountyhistory.org/visit/museums/wiscasset-old-jail/
