The town was founded in 1623, and a walk through Portland's historic area feels like a stroll back in time to that era. "Residents" in period costume populate the area, and at three working crafts shops, you can watch coopers, boat builders and potters at work on 17th-century trades. Today, the historic district's center, Strawbery Banke, consists of 10 downtown acres and 46 historic buildings, including Georgian-style homes that showcase18th-century prosperity. Some buildings have been restored with period furnishings and exhibits, and many are available for viewing and tours.
