Excerpt from Leading Business Men of Kennebunkport, Kennebunk and Old Orchard Beach: With an Historical Sketch of Each Place The growth of American watering places since the war, has been one of the most striking features of our recent development. It can be truly said that the discovery of America would not have been complete without the discovery of its unsurpassed sea-side resorts. Among the most popular on this side the Atlantic, those herein represented are recognizedly prominent and celebrated. To give glimpses of their peculiar beauties and charms, of all that goes to make up the fascination and recreation of their life, is all that can be looked for in cold type. We trust that not a few to whom these resorts have hitherto been unknown may be led to fill out these partial pictures with the cheerful and golden colors of actual and delightful experience, assured that all who put them to the test will find that words can convey but a small idea of the pleasurable life here enjoyed. To the unnumbered multitudes who have come for many years and will still come to Kennebunkport, Kennebunk, and Old Orchard, it will not be difficult to read between the lines the enduring, untranslatable beauty which they possess, around which treasured memories cast a bright halo. If we shall have furnished material to help in the forming of a satisfactory summer vacation choice, and have given substantial form to the attractions of these favored spots, so that the old time visitor can recognize them, the work will have accomplished its purpose. It has been our aim to represent all sides of life at these resorts, the out-door, social and commercial, and convinced from our study and experience, that their popularity is well founded and destined to great increase in the coming time, we commend these results and evidence to all past, present and future visitors to Kennebunkport, Kennebunk, and Old Orchard Beach.
