Historic Inn
Built in 1674 with a major addition in 1720, The Black Boar Inn is the oldest structure in the Town of Ogunquit and one of the oldest wooden structures in the United States. BBI is located in the heart of the vibrant Village and only a three minute walk to one of the top rated beaches in America. The Inn offers six large bedrooms with queen beds and private en suite bathrooms with modern amenities. The Inn's common rooms (each with fireplace) offers guests with casual places to relax with family and friends.
King James II of England (14 October 1633 – 16 September 1701) granted a plot of land in what is present day Ogunquit, Maine, to Alexandre Maxwell at some point in the mid-1600s. The Maxwell family built a home on this multi-acre plot in 1674 and lived there for about 100 years. In the mid-1700s, the home became the property of the Littlefield Family (another founding family of Wells/Ogunquit) through marriage to a Maxwell family member. Eddie Littlefield retained ownership until 1997. As the first two families cherished the property and remained ownership each for more than a century, The Black Boar Inn is now owned by only the third family in the structure's 340-year history. This Legacy Property is a truly authentic guest experience and remains a favorite choice of travellers from all parts of the world.
We want to thank our friend and Maine fine artist Virginia Souza for her sketch of our Inn that will form the base of our brand for years to come. Please visit her gallery, the Virginia Souza Gallery, located at 676 Post Rd (Rte 1) in Wells, Maine, 04090 - phone 207-646-2880.
