History of Grist Mill & Clem Clark’s Boathouse Lecture June 3rd at 5:30pm Located at KCT Boathouse 8 Mill Lane in KPT Join us on Wednesday, June 3, at 5:30p.m. at Clem Clark Boathouse for an exciting presentation by Kennebunkport Historical Society’s historian, Sharon Cummins about the history of Clem Clark Boathouse and the Grist Mill! In 2006, KCT acquired the Grist Mill Property on Mill Lane. This historic property includes public access to the beautiful Mast Cove, the site of the Perkins Grist Mill, and the Clement Clark Boathouse. Set within walking distance to the lower village, it is a unique setting we encourage everyone to visit. The Mill was built in 1749 and operated until 1939. In 1973 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places and sadly, was destroyed by an arsonist in 1994. Sharon will take you through the history of both the Grist Mill and Clem Clark Boathouse while in the remaining space. Enjoy light refreshments while learning why the property has been featured in photographs and paintings for decades. Please Park at the Kennebunkport Fire Station Log, located at 30 North Street and walk to the Clem Clark Boathouse at 8 Mill Lane.
Our mission is to preserve Kennebunkport’s social, cultural, & architectural history-with the goal of making these more relevant and accessible today
