This popular narrated historical walk with costumed interpreters begins at the museum and covers a half-mile loop through Kennebunk’s Hope Cemetery. Not too spooky, it’s a perfect activity for the whole family. Participants visit more than a dozen gravesites and learn local history through the fascinating and often tragic tales of residents from bygone eras. Featured stories include ones about ill-fated sea captains, a Civil War soldier killed in battle, children lost at sea, a Kennebunk girl’s calamity atop Mount Washington, a spinster and the doom of her namesake ship, and other Kennebunk notables from the past 250 years. Tours conclude back at the museum where guests are invited to enjoy cider and treats while viewing the museum’s portraits of those highlighted on the walk.
