Description
"Historic Kennebunkport Church, Maine" by Catherine Sherman.
St. Ann's Episcopal Church stands on the Atlantic Ocean coast of Kennebunkport, Maine. The church, which was built from rocks hoisted from the shoreline, has been open for services since 1892. Former President George G.W. Bush and his wife Barbara attended Mass there while visiting their summer home nearby. The Bush property has been a family retreat for more than a century.
St. Ann’s Church was the landing location for both of President George H.W. Bush’s skydive jumps on his 85th and 90th birthdays, where Mrs. Bush waited to greet him once he returned to land.
Taylor Swift performed outside of the church in 2010 to debut one of her videos that was shot in the Kennebunkport area.
The church is unheated and is only open from mid-June through September each year.
