The Harraseeket Inn is a historic inn on Main Street, U.S. Route 1, in Freeport, Maine, United States. Although today's business was established in 1984, the building it occupies was built in 1854.
History
[edit]Nancy Dyer Gray established the Harraseeket Inn in 1984 in an old Cape Cod-style structure, dating to the late 18th century, known as Conant Farm. It was used a stage station, for travelers between Portland and Brunswick, and run by Deborah Rose Dillingham and her husband, a blacksmith. Gray redeveloped the property into an eight-room building now called the Carriage House.[1]
The main inn, situated adjacent to the north, was built in 1854[2][3] and originally had fifty-four rooms and included a Greek Revival building formerly called the Sullivan House. This building is now the Broad Arrow Tavern, one of the inn's two restaurants. Its southern wing was built in 1997.[1]
The inn's other restaurant is the Maine Harvest Dining Room.[4]
It has ninety-four rooms, including nine townhouses.[4][5]
