13 days in Portland Itinerary

Maine's biggest and perhaps most vibrant city, Portland was established as a fishing village in 1633 and grew to become New England's largest port.

Venture out of the city with trips to Exeter Historical Society (in Exeter), Boston (St. Stephen's Roman Catholic Church, North End, &more) and George Marshall Store Gallery (in York). There's still lots to do: sample the tasty concoctions at Allagash Brewing Company, admire the masterpieces at Portland Museum of Art, get to know the fascinating history of Marginal Way Walkway, and visit a coastal fixture at Portland Head Light.
