Sightseeing

The observatory is not to be missed! On a clear day the view is incredible. . . About the actual Fort. Little remembered fact, this Fort Knox was featured on Ghost Hunters several years ago.

Finn's has great food. On our last visit we enjoyed their pub steak which was perfectly prepared and nicely priced for our budget. Recently we recommended this restaurant to guests looking for vegetarian options and they were thrilled to find that Finn's was more than able to accommodate their needs.

Good solid breakfast and lunch with a down-home atmosphere. Their food and coffee is good. Their hours are Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, 7am to 2pm. Wednesday and Thursday are closed. I'm sure they'll welcome small groups but call them for larger groups as this is a small diner.

This place is Ellsworth's answer to Sur La Table! Do visit all floors of this old 3-story building. It's worth the walk up the stairs. In their ground floor is hidden a cozy little coffee and tea shop with almost everything you can think of related to that and more.
