Walking Tour: Bath, Maine's Historic Washington Street Neighborhood

  • Embark Maine Tours 33 Summer Street Bath Maine (map)

Take a guided history walk in Bath, Maine - home to many majestic private residences built during the coastal city’s 19th century shipping and shipbuilding heyday.  Discover the enduring stories of these homes and their residents on a stroll through the tree-lined Washington Street Historic District neighborhood where Greek Revival, Italianate, Queen Anne and Victorian architecture abound. Which of the two competing Sea Captain brothers built the finer house? Was a top society woman a secret suffragette? How was Harriet Beecher Stowe behind Bath’s involvement in the Underground Railroad? Find out on this thought-provoking tour that will take you back in time. Groups are small, allowing time for questions, conversation and “ooh-ing” and “ah-ing” over exquisite architectural details. Visit embarkmainetours.com to learn more and book your tour!
