Maine travels

Overview

Quote:

Rockport is a small town on the east coast of Maine. This is an incredible place to go antiquing -- a lot of small shops with incredible antiques.

Quick Tips:

Best Way To Get Around:

I definitely recommend renting a car for this trip. Rockport is a small town population-wise, but it covers a large area. Also, you can drive to Bangor, Portland, and Bar Harbor within an hour of each direction.

Not just another seafood restaurant!!! Very quaint and friendly with GREAT people. The people and food at this restaurant did not leave me disappointed. Whether you are a seafood lover or not, the menu will keep you happy. I had smoked haddock on one trip and a club sandwich on another. Large portions that filled me to the bulging point. It was not one of those meals where you are hungry in an hour.

Antique Treasures

Being from Saint John, NB, Canada, I have a great eye for Victorian furniture, as Emery Furniture was one of the leading Victorian furniture companies in North America, and he was based out of Saint John.

It was in mint condition and wa...Read More

Another great example of Victorian furniture. I prefered the stock at Antique Treasures, but was not disappointed with the stock here either. I still recommend going here as the condition of the stock is great, and everyone has a different eye for what they like. This was not a junk shop.
