BATH

MAINE'S COOL LITTLE CITY

Long known as the “City of Ships” Bath has quickly evolved into “Maine’s Cool Little City”. With its identity lying in its shipbuilding roots, the 400-year shipbuilding legacy is still very much alive. Most notably, Bath is home to world-class shipbuilder Bath Iron Works, and the nationally acclaimed Maine Maritime Museum.

Downtown Bath has a unique mix of shops, restaurants, and services. Currently enlisted in an expansive downtown revitalization project, the city’s tree-lined avenues are graced by modest and grand examples of classic American architecture, and narrow streets are full of charm.
