The Kennebunks Remember a Woman of Unmistakable Grace

"Barbara Bush was an effortlessly amazing lady to the world. She will live forever in our hearts." Bonnie Clement

"She was a role model for all generations of women. She loved her family. She loved her country. She lived what she believed." Lisa Mills

“At the end of your life, you will never regret not having passed one more test, not winning one more verdict or not closing one more deal. You will regret time not spent with a husband, a friend, a child, or a parent.” Barbara Bush

Remember This? A Beloved Elm Lives On in Kennebunk Town Seal

Pictured here is the Lafayette Elm in full glory in 1962. Under this tree on June 25, 1825 The Marquis de Lafayette had tea with the ladies of Kennebunk as the honored guest of Mrs. Priscilla Storer during his visit. . . Lafayette was on his 13-month tour of the United States. He visited Kennebunk to honor his late friend from Kennebunk, Col. Joseph Storer.

The elm tree in the Storer’s garden was the location of this visit. From that time forward it was called the Lafayette Elm and was considered the most beautiful tree in Town. It was lost to Dutch elm desease in 1971. The tree is forever memorialized as the centerpiece of the official Town Seal of Kennebunk.

We welcome your photos and memories for our regular feature, Remember This? Please email [email protected].

Spring is here and we are open for the season!
