    The Lawnmere Inn, the oldest continuously operating inn in the Boothbay Harbor Region, is 106 years old in 2004. Built in 1897 by Marston and Herbert Thompson on the eastern end of Southport Island, the Lawnmere opened in 1898 as a summer hotel. At that time the inn housed about sixty people and guests arrived by boat from the Eastern Steamship Company. Room and board was .00 to .00 per week. Advertisements from the period praised the "beautiful outlook on the Samoset River -- unsurpassed by any other house in town."
