"Kittery's Grand Hotels"
thru Kittery Adult Education
— at the Museum -
Around the turn of the 20th century, Kittery was a booming tourist destination boasting five Grand Hotels. This presentation will take you back to the romance of spending the summer on the breezy banks of the Piscataqua River in Victorian style. Discover what made these hotels different from each other. This session will also examine what caused the demise of this "Grand" era in our town's history.
