Iconic Schooner Landing in Damariscotta to Reopen


An iconic Damariscotta restaurant will reopen at a temporary site after being destroyed by a fire last fall.

The owners of Schooner Landing on the Damariscotta River say they’ll work out of a food trailer and open the outside bar which was not harmed in the fire. In addition, they plan to provide restrooms and offer live music.
