While Maine may be best known for its majestic lighthouses and popular beaches, there are other attractions for the less outdoorsy types.
At first glance, the Kittery Trading Post looks like a group of shops. It’s easy to make this mistake since the Kittery Premium Outlets are located farther down the same road on US-Route 1. But, the Kittery Trading Post is one store.The three story building is known as much for its decor as it is known for its wide selection of goods. Originally geared for the outdoor aficionado, evident by the hunting apparel and accessories, the Kittery Trading Post is so much more now.
Although the store is a lot of fun to browse and shop at, the outdoor attractions may be even more entertaining.

About New England Nomad
Hi I'm Wayne. Welcome to my blog.
I am a true New Englander through and through. I love everything about New England. I especially love discovering new places in New England and sharing my experiences with everyone. I tend to focus on the more unique and lesser known places and things in New England on my blog.
Oh yeah, and I love dogs. I always try to include at least one dog in each of my blog posts.
I discovered my love of photography a couple of years ago. I know, I got a late start. Now, I photograph anything that seems out of the ordinary, interesting, beautiful and/or unique. And I have noticed how every person, place or thing I photograph has a story behind it or him or her. I don't just photograph things or people or animals. I try to get their background, history or as much information as possible to give the subject more context and meaning. It's interesting how one simple photograph can evoke so much.
I am currently using a Nikon D3200 "beginner's camera." Even though there are better cameras on the market, and I will upgrade some time, I love how it functions (usually) and it has served me well.
The great thing about my blog is you don't have to be from New England, or even like New England to like my blog (although I've never met anyone who doesn't). All you have to like is to see and read about new or interesting places and things.
Hopefully, you'll join me on my many adventures in New England!

I would love one or two of those sculptures around the place, particularly the giant, painted lobster. “Honey, you’ll never guess what I’ve bought……”

There’s something different and cool around every corner, Irene! It is also very emblematic of Maine since Maine is something of a sports person’s wonderland. They definitely cater to people who like the outdoors and I forgot to mention the bakery there (drool)! Thanks, Irene.

I live about an hour and a half away (just outside of Boston). So it’s an easy trip for me to make. There’s so much fun stuff there.
