![]() A coastal Maine Bed & BreakfastThe Old Granite Inn, located in the national historic district of Rockland, Maine, is a Federal Colonial built of gray granite quarried nearby in St. George.Local craftsmen fashioned the beautiful structure that still stands today. In the early 1900s, the building was purchased by the ELKS for their clubhouse. A large wooden ell was added. In 1984 John and Stephanie Clapp bought the building and through renovation and restoration created the lovely, comfortable Old Granite Inn. In 1997, Ragan and John Cary of St. George, an educator and an engineer respectively, purchased the Inn as their gracious home, continuing the tradition of a fine Bed & Breakfast. The Rockland area is wonderful.
Explore the city: Rockland is becoming a name in art circles with the opening of the Wyeth center, at the renowned Farnsworth Art Museum. Out in the country find beaches, parks, lighthouses and mountains to climb.
Go to sea: Rockland harbor is home port to windjammers and other tour boats offering luncheon cruises, day trips and extended sails. When evening comes, sample the many excellent restaurants or a picnic of fresh boiled lobster and clams on a wharf as the sun sets over the darkening water... Then come home to the Old Granite Inn and sleep soundly.
