Driving, boating or walking into Downtown Ellsworth is like setting your foot down on earth. This is the place that hasn't changed much, that still has parks and paths and neighborhoods where people live and work. It's hard to define, that feeling of discovering the real Maine this close to the coast, the downtown that has all the things you really want, is active all year, and is as friendly to locals as it is to visitors.
