We took the original Ghost tour and it was mediocre; probably because I just didn't connect with the guide, Liz, for some reason. We only made a few stops on the 90 minute tour and the sites and presentations were okay but not at all captivating. It would have been better if there were more places visited and a better storyteller. I definitely would have appreciated learning more about the Wabanaki Nation and the Great Fire. Surely there's ghost stories hidden in that history somewhere. In short, for the price we paid it definitely wasn't worth the cost.

Just want to say from my experience I highly recommend grabbing some donuts from local Ruckus Donuts and a coffee from a local cafe and enjoying those down here at Marie Reed Park. After that enjoy the sights and make the trek to Breakwater! Parking is simple enough but due to how busy it may get do arrive earlier rather than later. It's a longer trip out to this lighthouse than most you'll come across but that trip is so worth it. Some advice would be to wear appropriate shoes and just be mindful of your steps to avoid cracks and/or tripping. During our walk out and back we spent a good amount of time taking in the views as well as watching for wildlife. Got to watch plenty of seagulls as well as cormorants which the first cormorant we spotted dove down and came back to surface with a fish. It's a little bit of a journey but well worth the effort if you love beautiful views and being by the ocean!

My toddler had a good time playing and exploring but, we ended up carrying her for most of it and it gets pretty windy which she didn't like. It's a unique walk/trail to the light at the end of the breakwater and walking about .7 miles or so on those large slabs of uneven granite was a very cool experience with the water lapping at each side and occasionally splashing. I'm glad we did it - but, be prepared for a bit of a workout.

So much to look at in the house...many, many original furnishings and personal belongings. I appreciate the self-guided tour as well...nice to go at your own pace and listen to as much, or little details as you wish.

Would highly recommend stopping and touring this lovely home.

The Harbor They Fall…read more 1.6-mile out-and-back trail that outline the City of Belfast's picturesque harbor. The Good: *Very easy flat trail that's good for everyone, even kids. *Dog-friendly *Free! *Restrooms (see trail map for locations) *Adjacent to lots of food and shopping, if that's your jam. *You can connect to the Belfast Rail Trail to make it an even longer walk. *Picturesque views of the harbor, bay, and a working shipyard The Meh: *The trail is almost too easy and flat. You'll get your steps but not your cardio. The Ugly: *Parking can be a bit difficult during certain days and seasons, but not impossible. Conclusion: Fantastic trail with great views and a must-see if you're visiting Belfast, Maine.

You can find the Belfast Harbor Walk at Front St, Belfast, ME 04915 - it basically extends from the…read moreBelfast Armistice Bridge along the shoreline to Heritage Park in the East. There's a small lot where you can park right at the Bridge, which allows for foot traffic across the Passagassawakeag River. If you park at that end, there's a portapotty conveniently located by the lot. We parked, crossed the river to get in sights of the river, then moved to the West across the Belfast Rail Trail - you're rewarded at the end with a small station, caboose and a car or two before turning around. Returning and going the other direction takes you into Belfast where you can experience a small New England town that's been there pretty much longer than the US has been around - the area is hilly which makes for some neat adjustments to the architecture - along Belfast Harbor are massive boat lifts and boats/ships of all sizes that are being worked on by the local marine establishments - this is an active harbor with lots to see, a local brewery or two and stuff you wouldn't normally experience as landlubbers. The whole like totaled up to around 6 miles with the Rail Trail, bridge, visit to the town plus a lookaround. Neat place.

It was so intriguing finding out all the little details about the town that otherwise we would have never known. I really liked that this was not a hocus-pocus, over fabricated "Halloweenie" ghost tour. It was full of history and stories of the past that have made Camden what it is today. It made the town take on a whole new perspective for us; pretty amazing stuff when you think many of those interesting facts would have gone unseen! We loved Sally so much that when she told us about a Haunted Lighthouse tour she was doing in conjunction with the Maine Maritime Museum in Bath, ME, we made arrangements to attend that as well. Once again, we were not disappointed. Any lover of lighthouses, like myself, would have gotten enjoyment from this trip. We took a boat tour aboard the Pied Piper, to 7 different lighthouses and got to hear the stories and hardships of the keepers that manned the beautiful towers. We also got to meet her husband, Greg, an investigative reporter whom has written two books in conjunction with Sally, about uncovering the history behind seemingly unexplainable mysteries and ghost stories. I highly recommend Red Cloak Haunted Tours! I can not wait until our next trip to Maine, as I absolutely plan on working in as many locations for tours with Sally that we can!!!

We were visiting from the Midwest and admittedly don't recall many details from history class, so we literally thought it was a historical site that had been turned into a bar and wondered if the staff would be dressed up as war re-enactors! It is not that at all and it turned out to be a highlight of our stay in Maine. The guide we had is a history teacher and she knew a lot about a lot-the actual events but also the real humans involved and their families. She knew all about how households of the time were run, typical family routines and roles, how foods were prepared, household tools and textiles, attitudes and social expectations, superstitions and legends. She inspired all three of us (two adults and a teenager) to learn more about Machias and the Revolutionary War in general. This museum makes it so much easier to connect to the real people who lived through and made this history. It is unlike any other historical tour I've been on. I would have stayed longer if I could have. There is something for everyone here, it's not just about the war and shots fired. You go room by room and spend a good 20-30 minutes or longer in each room depending on how many questions you ask about the items in that room. It is a very detailed and data intensive tour, so don't go if you're hungover, hungry or not in the mood to absorb, observe and be immersed. If you are a naval history buff or a Revolutionary War buff, call them and schedule a visit to see if you can help them identify some of the pieces they've received over the years from folks who maybe didn't know what they were donating. I don't recommend this for young kids or people who aren't comfortable in small spaces. The museum is a boarding house/tavern and has been kept pristine in its original 1770s state, so think very small rooms, low ceilings. The tour groups are kept small so there is enough room as you walk through. Call ahead to schedule and make sure there is a guide available on the day you want to go. I was so impressed with the passion and dedication behind this tour. We were there two weeks ago and are still talking about it and looking up books at the library.
