While the town of Freeport, Maine is famous for shopping, having been voted as "Best Weekend of Shopping in New England,” there is much more it has to offer visitors than outlet stores. Nicknamed the “Birthplace of Maine,” the town boasts a rich history with colonists gathering at Jameson Tavern, which still operates today, to plan a separation from Massachusetts back in 1820. Thanks to the Freeport Historical Society, there are also numerous historic buildings that can still be seen today. The area also offers plenty of opportunities to get out into nature and explore the outdoors.
