Things to do in Freeport, Maine (ME): The Best Sights & Landmarks
Local legend claims that Freeport was the birthplace of Maine, the decision to separate from Massachusetts having been made in a local tavern way back in 1789. Whether this is truth or folklore, Freeport has much more to offer, including South Freeport, a historic harbourfront village offering up a fresh catch every day. Nearby Wolfe's Neck Woods State Park and the Mast Landing Audubon Sanctuary provide nature trails with scenic views of the Atlantic Ocean over the rocky shores of Maine.

A selection of trials long and short among these wonderful trees . Take a break and sit on a rock looking out towards the bay - very relaxing ! There is a trail for the less able with picnic areas.

Wait? There is a desert in the middle of the forest in Maine? Who knew?! Come spend some time outdoors exploring this one-of-a-kind natural phenomenon! You will learn about the unique geology and ecology of this place, in addition to the fascinating characters that have shaped its history over the last 200+ years. We offer a self-guided (with audio options available), short hiking trails, an incredible natural playground, a gift shop, a small art gallery, and a barn that dates from the early 1800s. We also have a lovely campground which has been completely renovated! Unfortunately, the campground is closed in 2020 due to COVID-19. We will re-open in 2021 better than ever though!
