Walk through Pondicherry Park, a 66acre nature preserve in the center of town. The wood chipped pathway leads you deep into the park where there are signs of beaver, deer, mink, woodpeckers, and spotted salamanders. Most Unusual: The Rufus Porter Museum celebrates the life and times or a remarkably creative American genius who worked throughout Maine, New England, and beyond. Rufus Porter (1792- 1884) was a painter well-known for his landscape murals and miniature portraits but he was so much more than a painter. He was an inventor, writer and teacher as well. There is a gift shop on site. Local Favorites: Bridgton is home to 1 of the 7 drive-in theaters still in operation in Maine. Bridgton Twin Drive-In has two screens with first run movies and a Retro Tuesday night for old favorites. Hidden Gem: The Songo River Queen II, on Long Lake, is a Mississippi paddleboat replica.
