Rockport, Rockland, Owls Head & Waterman Beach
On Friday, we took a day trip and headed out to show Jeannette some of the local area. First, we visited Rockport, which is a small town right next to Camden. It has a small harbor and some interesting history. And – two of Lou’s favorite things – an old steam engine and leftover remnants from the old Lime Kilns (he even has a book about the area). He took the photos in the gallery below – it also includes photos from his hike up to Owls Head Light House. Jeannette and I chose to skip the strenuous exercise, and enjoyed the views from Owls Head State Park.

We were out most of the day, but never went more than about 40 miles from Camden. After Rockport, we drove to Rockland and visited the Farnsworth Art Museum – home to a large collection of Andrew Wyeth paintings. Wyeth spent summers at his home in Cushing, Maine. We only saw a portion, as it would take hours to go through all the galleries showcasing work from (mostly) Maine painters and photographers. Then we headed to Owls Head to visit the Light House, and from there to Waterman Beach, where we visited a popular beachfront eatery and had lobster rolls. The Owls Head Transportation Museum was also on the agenda, but we’ll save that for another day.
