Historic Interest |
Waldo Emerson Inn is a Colonial style inn listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The Inn is the oldest remaining house in Kennebunk and has had several famous owners. The original Dutch gambrel was constructed by one Waldo Emerson in 1753. Waldo, great-uncle of Ralph Waldo Emerson, the poet/essayist, made a tidy profit building clipper ships on the river behind the house. It was inherited through marriage by Theodore Lyman, who made a fortune building ships on the site and added the enormous addition in 1784 as a wedding gift for his second wife. Historic Awards: National Register (Applied), State Register (Granted), Local Register (Granted), National Historical Site (Granted), State Historical Site (Granted) and City Historical Site (Granted). Historic Memberships: Local Historical Society and City Historical Society. Historic sites nearby: Wedding Cake House
