“When journalists from away wrote about Kennebunkport, they dipped into its colorful history and touted the persons of national and international prominence who had summer estates in the town and the tourists who filled its streets in summer, including artists and authors from all parts of the world.” 

Joyce Butler in “Kennebunkport, The Evolution of an American Town”
