Itinerary

1. The Kennebunkport Historical Society
Start at White Columns, a striking Greek Revival house built in 1853. Parts of the house were sealed off for 70 years, preserving the home as it once was. This residential time capsule now houses the First Families Museum. Today visitors enjoy tours of this beautiful mansion until they encounter its ghostly inhabitants.
Duration: 8 mins
2. Louis. T. Graves Memorial Public Libray
Take a closer look at this historic building's most curious feature, a headstone embedded in the exterior wall. Hear the story behind it as well as the tale of a local poltergeist investigated by esteemed artist Abbott Graves and other pillars of the community.
Duration: 10 mins
3. Nathaniel Lord Mansion
Watch out for the ghost of Phoebe Lord, who lived in this mansion for 49 years, following the death of her husband, Captain Nathaniel Lord. Phoebe's spirit is said to linger, especially in the Lincoln Room, her former bedroom.
Duration: 8 mins

5. Silas Perkins Park
Explore the park dedicated to famous early 20th-century poet Silas Perkins, known as the ‘Bard of Kennebunkport.’ In life, Silas made a startling discovery, which caused him to change his mind about ghosts. In death, Silas himself is believed to haunt a local inn.

6. 91 Ocean Ave
