places to visit

We will be in Blue Hill the week after the wedding, so if you're sticking around town let us know! Here are some of our favorite places on the peninsula.

Penny's Preserve at Peters Brook - Blue Hill Heritage Trust

182 Maine 176, Blue Hill, ME 04614
, (207) 374-5118

This is a lovely network of walking trails through woods and an old granite quarry. It's pretty flat so suitable for children and those who prefer a leisurely pace.

Blue Hill Mountain Trail

Blue Hill Mountain Trail, Blue Hill, ME 04614

Climb Blue Hill for a great view of the bay. It takes about 30 minutes to get to the top. There are a few different trails, but the Hayes Trail has a parking lot at the trailhead.

Curtis Cove

90 Curtis Cove Road, Blue Hill, ME 04614

This is the place to swim or picnic, and it's right down the street from the Peabody house! It's a private beach and there's no bathroom facility, so feel free to walk up to the Peabody house to use the bathroom. The door is always open.

Blue Hill Farmer's Market

22 Tenney Hill, Blue Hill, ME 04614

On Saturday morning, the Blue Hill Farmer's Market is the place to be! Grab a delicious Tinder Hearth pastry and a cup of coffee. Horsepower Farm has the sweetest carrots you'll ever taste, and Blue Zee Farm's greens are unbeatable. Usually the market is at the fairgrounds, but since the fair is in town this weekend you'll find it in the parking lot of the Congregational Church. Hours are 9 - 11:30 AM.

The Blue Hill Fair

233 Ellsworth Road, Blue Hill, ME 04614

If you've read Charlotte's Web, you may remember Templeton the rat's account of this very fair! It's got it all: midway rides, livestock judging, and the skillet toss. This is also where Rufus Peabody acquired a baby pig without parental permission circa 1995. Full fair schedule is here: https://www.bluehillfair.com/schedule.php

Acadia National Park

25 Visitor Center Road, Bar Harbor, ME 04609

Take a day trip for spectacular hiking in Acadia and good food in Bar Harbor. Tom Peabody's favorite trails: Acadia Mountain, Sargent Mountain, Beehive and Beech Mountain.

Blue Hill Books

26 Pleasant Street, Blue Hill, ME 04614

This is quite simply the greatest bookstore in the world. Lose yourself here.

Handworks Gallery

48 Main Street, Blue Hill, ME 04614
, (207) 374-5613

Full of jewelry and artwork by local artists.

The Blue Hill Co-op

70 South Street, Blue Hill, ME 04614

This is the local health food store and cafe. It's the perfect place to grab a sandwich on your way out for a hike. They also have plenty of groceries if you're cooking in.

Arborvine & Deepwater Brewing Co.

Barncastle Hotel + Pub

125 South Street, Blue Hill, ME 04614
, (207) 374-2300

Perry's Lobster Shack

This is PJ's favorite place, possibly in the world. Eat lobster on a dock. BYOB. Need we say more? (Oh yes, bring a sweater.)

Bagaduce Lunch

145 Frank's Flat Rd, Penobscot, ME 04476
, (207) 326-4197

There's a reason this place has been around for 70 years and was the password to all the Peabody family computers. Check their facebook page to make sure they're open before driving out though: https://m.facebook.com/bagaduce/
