Did you know the Community Center building at Goose Rocks Beach was once located at Kennebunk Beach? Or that a 20-acre farm once stood out by the cove at Strawberry Island? How about the fact that whether you lived in a “cottage” or a “house” used to affect your tax bill?

Discover these and many more surprising stories during the Kennebunk Beach Walking Tour, happening Saturday, Aug. 30, at 10 a.m..

Hosted by the Brick Store Museum, the guided, one-hour walking tour offers a unique glimpse into the hidden history of Kennebunk Beach.

Participants will stroll past historic homes and landmarks, learning about the rise of seaside tourism at the turn of the 20th century and the people who made Kennebunk Beach the iconic destination it is today.

From the well-known Dipsy Baths to lesser-known tales of land ownership, architecture, and community life, the tour promises to reveal a side of the beach you’ve never seen.

The tour departs from Trinity Chapel, on Railroad Avenue, at Kennebunk Beach. Tickets are $10 per person, or $5 for museum members. Space is limited, and reservations are strongly encouraged. Reserve your spot today at brickstoremuseum.org/calendar.

An additional Kennebunk Beach Walking Tour is scheduled for 10 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 11.
