OWN A PIECE OF THE WATERFRONT PARK

The Town of Boothbay Harbor is fundraising for the waterfront park on the site of the Commercial Street parking lot.

As part of this process, we are allowing people this once in a lifetime opportunity to become a part of the park by engraving their name on a brick, which will be placed in the park.  The cost of a brick is $50.00, which allows for seventeen (17) characters, for your name, company, loved one, or a pet.

Bricks may be purchased as a:

• Christmas Gift
  
• Birthday Gift
  
• A Favorite Pet
  
• With YOUR company name!
  
• In Memory of a Loved One
  
• With Your Child's Name

Immortalize yourself or someone close to you!

Tickets may be purchased until the 2000 bricks are sold.

Checks should be made payable to: Town of Boothbay Harbor and mailed to 11 Howard Street, Boothbay Harbor, ME 04538.  Your contribution is tax deductible.

The earliest attempts at settling the Boothbay Harbor region were made by fishermen, but these settlements were ravaged by King Phillip’s war 1675 and Indian forays in 1690.  The area remained uninhabited until 1729.  At that time, the entire Boothbay Harbor region became the settlement of Townsend, which included present day Boothbay Harbor, Boothbay and Southport.  In 1746, the settlement petitioned the general Court of Massachusetts for incorporation.  Governor Bernard signed the act of incorporation, naming the area Boothbay.  The first town meeting was 1765, and the first school established in 1767.  The Town of Southport split from Boothbay in 1842, followed by Boothbay Harbor in 1889. On February 16, 1889 the Town of Boothbay Harbor was formed by act of the State Legislature.
