Maine is an undeniably beautiful state with so many amazing places to explore, especially for somewhere that just seems so small. Turns out, we can pack quite a punch with most of the jaw-dropping small towns in Maine where everything seems to be quiet and peaceful. Personally, we think autumn is the best possible time to experience these small towns – it’s ridiculously magical, and you’ll have to see for yourself! Check out, for example, the beautiful small town of Searsport. With a population of just over 2,600 people, it’s one of those places where everyone will know your name before too long. Have you ever experienced this adorable fall town in Maine? Make sure you add it to your bucket list.
Searsport was officially settled way back in the 1760s, though it wasn't officially incorporated until 1845.
The town is known for its long, strong maritime history. It's been an important place for quite a long time - many lifetimes, in fact. Today, it's quaint and quiet... and everything you could ever hope for in an autumn day trip!
Searsport is stunning in the fall, as its surrounding woods come alive in an astonishing blaze of color.
A big-time favorite among locals and tourists alike is a night or three in the Historic Captain Nickels Inn. Better still, you can spend the whole day at the Penobscot Marine Museum beforehand.
If you're looking for the ultimate dreamy autumn experience, consider a trip to Searsport.
