Just east of Woolwich, with the Sheepscot and Back Rivers wrapped around it, is the island of Westport, a Maine-coast town with one arm reaching to U.S. Route 1 and another to the intricate salt marshes of Montsweag and the Town of Georgetown. If it's the galleries, antique shops, flea markets and craft shops of U.S. Route 1 that you favor, they are there in good number. This town, incorporated in 1828 demonstrates how strongly the pulse of commerce can beat, and still be unheard just a few steps off the beaten paths.
