This addictive sweet treat is made in the town&#8217;s Trading Post Fudge Hall, which serves as an entertainment hub for the community. In addition to fudge, the Trading Post also features cultural and community programs and classes. And if you are visiting the area, make sure to check out the museum. It features a skeleton and a replica of the famous Bunker Hill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The city of Kittery boasts many interesting historical sites, such as the historic Fort McClary State Park. This fort has protected the area for over 275 years. It&#8217;s named after an American Revolutionary War hero named Andrew McClary, who lost his ship during the Battle of Bunker Hill. Local granite was used to build the fort&#8217;s wall, which has undergone several modifications over the centuries. Built in 1808, the fort has been used during five wars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The town&#8217;s museums are also noteworthy, as the Portland Museum of Art has over 18,000 pieces of artwork. Among the works on display are over 600 Winslow Homer paintings. The museum also has a house that contains works by Georgia O&#8217;Keefe and classic European painters. The Wadsworth Longfellow House, a 1786 mansion, is another attraction worth visiting. This historic house was once owned by the famous author&#8217;s grandfather. It is now a museum that showcases his life&#8217;s work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While visiting Kittery, it&#8217;s worth trying out the local brew. Robert&#8217;s Maine Grill serves tasty food, with views of the river and marsh. The menu includes German, Belgian and American beers. Visitors can enjoy the beer on its own or pair it with chicken or seafood. It&#8217;s 14% alcohol by volume, which makes it perfect for drinking alone or accompanying a meal. The restaurant also has a large bar and offers non-seafood dishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for a relaxing vacation, Kittery has a lot to offer. The oldest town in Maine, Kittery is a peaceful seaside community with historical buildings and shipyard memorabilia. Along Route 1, Kittery is home to the famous Outlet District, with over 120 stores. If you&#8217;re looking for a souvenir or two, you&#8217;ll find it at Kittery Trading Post and Chauncey Creek Lobster Pier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The town of Kittery is located in York County, Maine. Its population is below 10,000, but is known for its shipbuilding heritage. During the World War I era, the US flag&#8217;s first ship was built in Kittery.
