The 1840s and 50s was a time of a huge increase in immigration to the United States, especially coming from Ireland, where the failure of the staple potato crop caused widespread famine. Refugees fled to America, in hopes of a new start, or at least a chance to survive. Many came to Bath, Maine.

The weather looks amazing this weekend! After a busy busy Heritage Days and Fourth of July weekend in Bath, we are on to the heart of summer now! (But if store owners and staff seem a little weary behind their smiles, you know why.) This weekend features outstanding FREE music, a bakery pop-up and marine mammals…

Fourth of July, we have learned in our years living here, is the true kick off to summer in Maine- we have reliably sunny and warm weather, every sunset and sunrise is the best you ever saw, and the coastal towns sparkle. Although Mayor Vaughn’s declaration in the movie, Jaws, wasn’t completely forthright, the sentiment about the importance of the holiday rings true: “It’s a beautiful day, the beaches are open, and people are having a wonderful time.”

This weekend is a little more low-key than last weekend’s crazy busy, but with lots to do and space to focus on the things that matter (music, swimming, lobster, history, art). And, you have a chance to rest up (a bit) before NEXT weekend! (Spolier - 4th of July and Heritage Days).
