There is only one Searsport in the whole world!
(Google it and see for yourself.)
This is what Wikipedia says about us.
I first loved Searsport because that's the home of my husband, but as I've made it my home, I've learned to love it for many other reasons.
It has a very picturesque harbor. Not only do we have our own island, but we have a deep water port where boats dock from all over the world.
It has an interesting history. Many of the elegant houses on Route #1 were the homes of ship captains.
Downtown hosts dozens of shops - antiques, books, home-crafts, home decor, etc. There is campground on the bay, plus many motels and bed & breakfast accommodations.
We have a state park and a town park, both having a gazebo and a beach. There are also four churches, various restaurants, a library, a museum, and even a golf course.
The residents gather for community activities throughout the year - the biggest probably being the Fourth of July celebrations with lobster boat races, a parade, and of course, fireworks in the park.
Those who live out of town enjoy being surrounded by blueberry fields and wooded lands, where we often see a variety of wildlife.
I have lived here for 34 years, and I'm proud to claim Searsport as my hometown.

Just a lovely place you live in, dear Vonnie. I WILL get out there some day. Really!
What a beautiful town, it is picturesque!
It is now on my list of places I must visit!
Reminds me of the fictional town of Mariner Cove.
What a gorgeous place to live!

Beautiful! I love the pictures of those old houses, and that you "adopted" your husband's town as your own.
I hope to be able to visit there one day! Very pretty!
oh, and it has some pretty awesome citizens too:)
I didn't realize there was only one Searsport. So cool!! Loved that last shot of the coast, Vonnie. Wish there was a way to capture the scent of the ocean. mmmm.
Hugs!
What a lovely, picturesque area! Thanks for sharing this!
