Stonington … the epitome of a working Maine harbor. Early morning fog drifts over the islands, creating an ethereal view for anyone fortunate enough to be paying attention as they drive downhill into town. Fishing boats leave the harbor at first light, returning midday with the fresh catch.

Over the past few years, the fishing industry has suffered all along the coast, and Stonington is no exception. Many fishing families have chosen to leave a way of life that may have been part of their family for generations. As a result, this once-quiet little fishing village has undergone a transformation. Main Street has become a mecca for visitors, with galleries, shops, and restaurants offering a variety of tastes, smells, and visual delights.
