Stories About Kennebunkport

After Barbara Bush passed, they collected stories about her from the community. There is a garden in her honor in the center of town. The Bush family lived at Walker’s Point, George Bush’s mother’s house, for several generations.

For many years while I was growing up, there was a handicapped man who would “direct” traffic in the center of town. The traffic would get terribly messed up, but no one complained. Everyone took care of him.
