The Town of Bucksport is located at the head of Penobscot Bay, and is home to approximately 5,000 people. Since the first settlers arrived in 1763, the town has experienced Revolutionary War naval battles, stagecoach visits from five presidents, and even a legendary witch's curse that continues to this day. A major feature of the town is the downtown waterfront area, which draws folks from miles around to enjoy both its recreational and business offerings.
