Things To Do
Bath Iron Works
VIEWING ONLY When you go over the Bath bridge, look to your right to observe destroyers from the US Navy. Bath Iron Works is a shipyard on the Kennebec River founded in 1884.
Red's Eats
Stand in line for a lobster roll at Red's Eats in Wiscasset, the birthplace of Emir Odom. It is worth the wait for this nationally recognized Maine delicacy. Red's is located at the bottom of the hill leaving Wiscasset, before you cross the bridge, on the left.
Moody's Diner
Looking for something sweet? Make a stop at Moody's Diner for locally famous pie.
Rockland Breakwater Lighthouse
Stop in the town of Rockland, Emir's high school rivalry town, and walk the 9/10ths of a mile breakwater to the Rockland Lighthouse.
Samoset Resort
This unique AAA Four Diamond resort is a great place for accommodations during your stay. The Samoset also provides great dining, golf, and spa options. Enjoy the beautiful grounds of this resort by sitting on the patio overlooking the golf course along Rockland Harbor. As a bonus, this was Emir's place of work throughout high school and college summers.
Rockport Harbor
Visit Rockport Harbor to visit the local hero, Andre the Seal. There is even a book written about him. Then see if you can find Emir's old childhood home, across from the post office, with the "upside down" trees.
Vesper Hill Children's Chapel
Make sure to visit the beautiful children's chapel, the childhood stomping ground for Emir and his brothers. They spent a lot of time in the Milkweed field chasing Monarch Butterflies. When looking through the window inside the chapel, there is a great view of Penobscot Bay.
Whitehall Inn
Come to the Whitehall Inn for an evening glass of wine or cocktail to admire many of Edna St Vincent Millay's playbooks and poetry. This quaint bed and breakfast was where Emir got his start in hospitably at the age 15, as a bellman.
Mount Battie
You can hike up Mount Battie from the address above. The hike is moderate and there is some boulder scrambling involved. You can also drive to the top of Mount Battie by going to the entrance of Camden Hills State Park, 280 Belfast Rd, Camden, ME 04843. There is a guard shack at the entrance, you'll stop there and pay the entrance fee and then drive along Mt. Battie Road until you get to the Mount Battie Tower.
Downtown Camden
Downtown Camden is where all of the action is going to be. Our venue is on Bayview Street right on Camden Harbor, which is surrounded by everything you will need within about a four block radius.
