ONE SUMMER MORNING about 250 wars ago, a traveler on the King’s Highway saw a golden spark in the lifting mist on the Maine side of the Piscatiqua River. I Ie brought his horse to canter and scanned the water Suddenly, a gilded barge emerged from the fog, catching the low sun rising from the east. Twelve slaves rowed the barge. On deck, a white man shaded his eyes with his hand, searching the waters while the barge pushed toward the sea and was gone. The King’s Highway was nearly a century old when Sir William Pep|>ercll glided along the Piscataqua in his barge powered by 12 African-American oarsmen. Naturally, Maine’s section of the King’s Highway has evolved since it was conceived in 1653. 'Ilie serpentine path it once took around fallen trees has been straightened in the ensuing years, and the deep, mud filled ruts have been polished with asphalt. “With die coming of the automobile, man could travel beyond what he knew ,” savs Peter Bachelor, w ho is writing a historyofthehighway.“Itwasthefirstroadindiestateto get people from one place to another.” From that. Bachelor continues, stage lines grew, and restaurants, inns, and hotels appeared, along with a host of other services. Most of the structures that lined the original highway have fallen, replaced by strip malls and other buildings.

’Today, modern submarines built at Kiltcry’s Portsmouth Naval Shipyard have replaced William Pepperell’s golden barge and John Paul Jones’s ship Ranger, which was built here. 1 low things have changed But the most dramatic recent changes in Kittery’s landscape have occurred along the King’s 1 lighway over the last decade.

“Many of the old summer cottages and cabins tliat lined the road are gone,’’ remarks Marcia Beverly, speaking of Route1inKittery*.“z\fewyearsago,thelastoftheoldfashioned gas stations was ripped out " Farmland and homes have also pcldcd to development along this part oftheKing’sIlighway.

In spite of this, residents don't complain too much about the emergence of Kitteryzs "miracle mile.” It has become an outlet center rivaling the regional old-timers, North Conway, New Hampshire, anti Freeport. Since the first mall moved in just ten years ago, eleven others have followed. In all, there arc 115 outlet stores in Kittery. Within the malls, you will find stores like Brooks Brothers, Liz Claiborne, Icnnox China, Timberland, Guess, Ixvis, Converse, Ralph lauren, Bass, Dexter Shoe, and over 100 more shops. New Englanders come by the busloads, pulled by the genetic urge to buy gtxxl things cheaply If von don’t plan to venture as far as LL Bean in Freejxirt, check out the Kitten' Trading Post. For over 50 years, the 'Trading Post has sold outdoor sporting grxxls. You will find guns, archer)' cc|uipment, fishing gear, canoes, and snowshoes, along w ith men’s and women’s clothing, jewelry. Maine-made gifts, and dog training equipment. 'Ihey also sell scents to attract just about any game pu want to shoot. Just sprinkle a little in your front yard and enjoy the hunt without leavingthebrcakfirsttable.

York

What’s the oldest chartered citv in America 7 If you answered New York, pm’re half right. York, Maine, was chartered in 1641, and the Old York Historical Society has one of the finest assemblages of historic homes in Maine (Route 1A).

'Ihe perfect place for lunch is the Goldenrod on the road to York Beach (Route 1A), where you can sip a lime rickcy in a frosted glass in a metal holder while you watch taffy lx.*ing pulled in the w indow and devour fixxl you just can’t fix at home. The taffy is fresh and rxldlv hypnotic as it stretches from side to side, and the atmosphere of deep varnish and fireplace recalls Maine summers of old Just up the wav, at the York Wild Animal Kingdom, sec a rare w hite liger and other fellow creatures in the park and then travel this coastal road a s|xll.

Ogun quit

The only foot-drawbridge in the United States is in Ogunqmt It spans Perkins Cove and then follows the Marginal wav. Marginal Way has no [xer as an (xcanic walkway. It has benches at strategic spots w ith wild roses and exotic, imported hardwoods growing in the rocky crags along the walk. Ogunquit means “Beautiful place by the sea” in Algonquin, but in this case it is an understatement.

Barnacle Billy’s is the shellfish lovers’ paradise here, w ith lovely views of the tuna and lobster-fishing fleets and the happy sound of raucous shucking as lobster carcasses and clams head out to the dumpster under the stars.

Back on Route 1, check out the Ogunquit Playhouse. It's Iktii there since 195? and has drawn many of the greatest names in movies and theater to jK-rform, from Bette Davis (who used to work summers here as a waitress) to Shirley Booth. It still puts on fixe shows a summer, and the immaculately manicured grounds and topiary shrubs are worth a look even if you can’t stay for the show.

Next, on your left, is The Viking, an ice cream smorgasbord that was possibly the first in the country to treat dessert like a salad bar. Back in the early sixties, when this place was designed and launched, it was on the cutting edge of trend, as Ixild and suqmsing as the IBM Selectric 2.

Wells has seven miles of beaches. You might lx? in the (Caribbean—except tliat the water is cold enough to kill a penguin. Hit the brakes if you’re driving past the Milestone Motel right now. Jeff Desjardins from the front desk is alxmt to tell you where you can find a real King’s Highway marker lalxjlcd “B 89 1769." The letter B denotes lioston, the numlx.T 89 indicates the distance in miles to that city, and 1769 is the date of the marker. “Heading north, just before the motel, is the Captain 'IItouuis Road. Take a left and follow it up a slope to the firstintersectionandtakearightonthatroad.Driveafew hundred feet down that and you’ll sec the marker obscured by overgrowth, but it’s there. It’s shaped roughly like a diamond," Jeff says. We arc now entering the Gold Coast of antique stores and flea markets that have transformed the Wells to Kennebunk stretch of Route 1. lire best stops arc MacDougalLCionct Antiques and Associates, heavy in Salem, Boston, and New York period furniture as well as Chinese export porcelain, and Jorgensen's, which has a huge, museum-like inventor}’ of top-end Federal furniture. 'Hicre’s a wonderful Colonial garden behind the old farmhouse where you can relax in what seems a different world In cxMitnil Wells, enjoy a pile of homemade doughnuts at Congdon’s. Hicse have been famous for decades and arc truly homemade. Further up the line, book lovers will love a stop at Douglas Harding Rare Books, which has a vet}- deep collection and is located in the old W'clls train station. Your next stop in W'clls involves a right turn onto laudholm Fann Road. If you want to sec an incredibly preserved oceanfront farmhouse, this is an experience that cannot lx? equalled laudholm Fann is now home to a 1,600-acre estuarial research reserve.

By 1900, men outnumbered women " Charles Dickens even visited these mills in the late 19th century and, in an article in the Inndon press, praised their innovative design as a more humane model for Britain to consider (he liked the windows and natural lighting), though the desultory facilities were hardly Club Med.

Ilie last log drive on the Saco Riser went to the mills on Spring Island in 194^. In 1798. Seth Spring built a three-story' Federal mansion on the island, which in turn became Spring’s Tavern, a popular rest-stop along the King’s Highway. 1-ifavettc stopped here at this bright yellow, green-shuttered mansion to waltz with the gentry on his tour through Maine in 1825. 'Dien the sawmills came, turning Spring Island into a hnnlxT kingdom. A family named Deering started a lumber cornpain at Spring’s mansion back in 1866, and today Deering Lumlx-r still thnves in the same spit. even though the dassofthegreatlogdrivesarclonggone.

In the 1670s, a group of dnmken sailors came u|x>n a squaw with her papoose who were traveling peacefully down the Saco River in a canoe. Hie sailors had heard that a papoose floated when thrown into the water and wanted to test the assumption. So they placed bets, upset the canoe, and the papoose sank. 'Ilie papoose was the child of Squanto, Sagamore of the Saco trilx*. 'Hie chief wassogrief-strickenthathesethispeopleagainstsettlers from Saco to Portland 'lire campaign for vengeance was so brutal and vigorous that it denuded the area of its white population until peace was made in the early 1700s.

Although the active violence against the white man ended, legend also has it that Squanto wrought a curse ontheriverthatsurvivestothisday:"/Vslongasthewhite num lives, the Saco w aters must each year drow n three of his hated nice,” relates Celia Sturtevant. 'Hie Saco today looks lazy and harmless, and mavlx? that is why people are so surprised w hen the Ixxlics wash ashore each year. Heading north to Saco just past the air-conditioningchilled Dairy Joy, look to the left and see a forgettable late-Federal structure most of whose lawn has been engulfed by Route I.

A congressman in Iris early )-ears, Fairfield also served as a U.S. senator from 1842-49, with a jxditical career so remarkable that many considered him Presidential timber.
