Town Description
Brooklin is famed for its tradition of boat
building, both by professionals at the several
facilities in town, and by students at the
WoodenBoat School who attend summer
classes. The town has long been called
home by writers, including the late E.B.
White and his wife, Katherine, and former
Washington Post editor James Russell
Wiggins.
The village boasts a general store—truly
the center of town and a great source for
information—a restaurant, church, inn and
town office building. Thousands gather here
in the summer for the Flye Point Music and
Arts Festival.
With Native American artifacts stemming
from the presence of Red Paint People,
Abnaki and Woodland tribes, dating as far
back as 4,000 years, the area is archeologically
important. The town gained a measure
of fame when an 11th century Norse coin
was discovered in 1957, indicating that
Europeans may have traded in the area 500
years before Columbus.
