The beautiful 19th century, mansard-roofed village of Stonington is Maine’s #1 Lobster Port and continues to also deliver its famed tri-color granite to the world from Crotch Island. There were once as many as 42 stores along its harbor-front Main Street, including Freedman’s, Epstein’s, and Vic’s IGA. Stonington residents share their stories and memories of these family-owned and operated businesses. This short, easy 3rd annual Stonington Walk starts in Greenhead and curls a half mile down along West Main Street through the Village, ending in front of what is now 44North Coffee. Collaboratively led by Stonington Economic & Community Development Director Linda Nelson with local history experts.
