This is a great museum! So much history in Kittery--from the naval history to the grand hotels that…read morewere once in Kittery, there's so much to learn about. The museum is broken up into different sections. They do give you a map but it's a little confusing to follow along, so I suggest just walking through and just reading what's there. Some markings around the museum to correspond with the map would be helpful. There are about 5 rooms so it doesn't take too long to walk through, depends on what kind of museum goer you are. They are currently only open Wednesday and Saturday from 10-2pm. There is an admission fee ($7 adults, $3 children, $15 family) but they offer discounts for AAA members, seniors, military and Kittery residents!

The historical value is in the rehab and Portsmouth artifacts contained in the house. The exhibition on the Portsmouth Peace Treaty is really good, they should actually highlight that more than the JPJ side of it. The Museum shop is very small and not much to look at. Overall it is ok but I would rather spend my time on another stop.

After having toured John Paul Jones' tomb at the Naval Academy in Annapolis and getting a great history lesson there from our tour guide, we were anxious to stop at this house during our recent visit to Portsmouth. Conveniently, it was right around the corner from our hotel! The house is run by the Portsmouth Historical Society who have done a great job re-establishing the home to its current state after what we learned were years of neglect. With volunteer help and amazing contributions of historical furniture and other items from committed supporters, the home really does bring you into the age of John Paul Jones. I didn't mind the $5 senior citizen admission charge knowing that it was going to support the upkeep and maintenance of such a historic place. The representative from the Historical Society provided an excellent narrative of the significance of the home and all that is contained therein. Very informative. Then we were free to wonder at our leisure. What was a surprise, however, was that this was really NOT John Paul Jones' house. Yes, he rented a room here on two occasions during the construction of war ships. I was under the mistaken impression that he owned this house. Turns out that he was just a boarder here. Nonetheless, you'll get a good overview of his life and the significance of the man known as the Father of the U.S. Navy.

Shoebox is literally my favorite shoe store in the entire country. The owner, John and his wife,…read moredaughter and family are all great, along with all of their other salespeople. It is the best service you will ever find. They will keep bringing shoes in your size that you might like and you may be surprised with which ones you fall in love with. I love that they are curated from around the world, including Spain, Portugal, Germany, Italy, and Australia. Very unique. All very high-quality and well-made, and most extremely comfortable, which is one of the main things I look for in a shoe these days. They also have some beautiful leather purses. My husband has several pairs of shoes from here too. Absolutely recommend, and intend to stop in on every visit to Kennebunkport! As an added bonus, they also do free shipping and/or tax, which is super convenient. This time we came with four of us, including our friends, Doug and Aviva, who are locals, and bought 10 pairs. They were even all on special, which is a rare occurrence. Again, had them shipped, which was great. Do yourself a favor and check it out!

This is the most wonderful shoe store ever and I am happy to support a local business in Maine…read more The owner John seemed to know exactly what I'd like and I wound up buying 5 pairs of shoes with some on sale. The boots I got are gorgeous and comes in so many colors. Some of my favorite brands live there like Gabor and Ara and there were others I never heard of like brands from Spain. I finally found a birkenstock that fit me that I have wanted for a long time. The woman who was also helping me was so sweet and patient. My friend bought a few pairs too. I wore the Gabor loafers today and they were comfy right out of the box. I will drive to Kennenunkport from Boston if I need anymore shoes. If i don't buy another pair of shoes I wouldn't need to. However with stores like John's how can you say no?

Seats on the sides are standard arena plastic seats. Those behind each of the nets are general admission without backs and a bench style. The parking is the worst part because you have to go up a huge flight of stairs to cross the train tracks and then back down on the other side to get to parking lot A. Beer is available for the 2017 season which I am not thrilled with but if it helps with revenue and they cut people off as needed that is fine. AJ in ticket sales is amazing. Huge asset to the arena.
