Whaleback Shell Midden Historic Site

The east side of the Damariscotta River once contained an enormous shell heap named Whaleback because of its shape. Much of this midden was removed in the late 1880s to supply a factory built here to process the oyster shells into chicken feed. As a result, only a small portion of Whaleback remains today. Managed in cooperation with the Coastal Rivers Conservation Trust, the area around the midden is now a State Historic Site that includes a small hiking trail and beautiful views of the river. A series of interpretive panels helps inform visitors about the history of the area.

The Squire Tarbox Inn is everything you could imagine it would be, a quaint rural homestead with luscious gardens, pastoral vistas, nestled in one of the best parts of the Maine coast. The Inn is a beautifully preserved home with all the warmth and charm of a cozy New England escape. The owners pay homage to the historical significance of the architecture while attending to details with discerning and well-appointed design choices. We were able to experience a step back in time with all the modern conveniences and amenities that will make this a very memorable stay. If you are in the midcoast area, I highly recommend taking the trip to Westport. It will not disappoint.
