Kennebuck Free Library, Kennebuck, Maine (History and Genealogy Section)

Kennebuck, Maine
I have never been to this library and didn't even know where it was, but my husband knew exactly where, it wasn't too far from the Wedding Cake House, which he wanted to see for the 100th time (see photo below). The entrance (below) was in the new addition to the library, but the rest of my photos show the older section.

Pretty good selection of genealogy and history books. A librarian showed me around and gave me some history. The skylight had to be covered during World War II and now has a beautiful ceiling light providing a bit of sparkle and light. The library lights the fireplace twice a week...maybe a tradition of some kind.




The Wedding Cake House isn't open anymore, but at least you can see the outside.
