Kittery - This is our gateway town, overlooking the shores of the Piscataqua River opposite the city of Portsmouth, NH, to the south. Kittery is the halfway mark on Interstate 95 between Boston, MA, and Portland, ME. Take a scenic drive along Route 103, past the gates of the 200-year-old Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, to Kittery Point where you will pass the beautiful and historic Lady Pepperrell House. You will also pass Ft. McClary State Park, built in 1690, with the current blockhouse built in 1812. Further along you will find Ft. Foster, once a fortress manned during World War II, and now owned and operated by the town as a public recreation and beach facility. Fishing, shipbuilding and other marine-related industries were the center of Kittery's economy. The Kittery Outlet malls, located along the Route 1 corridor, provide a world-renowned shopping experience. Route 1 and Route 103 are the main arteries connecting Kittery and York.
