The Skolfield–Whittier House is a Victorian museum of the Pejepscot Historical Society, located at 161 Park Row in Brunswick, Maine. It is often referred to as a "time capsule" because it has been virtually untouched since the Victorian era.

The Pejepscot Historical Society, known as the Pejepscot History Center, is the fourth oldest historical society in the state of Maine. Founded in 1888, the society's mission is to preserve and celebrate the history of the Pejepscot region, which includes the towns of Brunswick, Harpswell and Topsham.

Lower Mall is an urban park in Brunswick, Maine, United States. Established in 1823, it is located in the Federal Street Historic District, between Maine Street and Park Row, running from School Street in the north to Bath Road in the south. Veterans Plaza, a grouping of monuments honoring the town's veterans, stands at the park's northern end. There is also a gazebo at the park's southern end. The Skolfield-Whittier House, home of the Pejepscot Historical Society, stands on Park Row. In 1823, the land for this park―which was originally swampy―was sold to the town for "five cents" by three citizens with the stipulation that it be "reserved and used as a public walk or mall." The swamp was filled shortly thereafter. In 2019, there were plans to make Park Row a one-way street, from north to south, to facilitate the growing popularity of the town's farmers' market, which is held in the park. Just beyond the park's southern edge, the Rockland Branch of the Cumberland and Knox Railroad crosses Park Row. Upper Mall is also located between Maine Street and Park Row but adjacent to Bowdoin College, a few hundred feet to the south.

The Federal Street Historic District of Brunswick, Maine encompasses a part of the town whose development was influenced by its 18th-century success as a shipping center, and by the presence of Bowdoin College (chartered 1794), whose historic central campus is part of the district. In addition to the campus, the district includes a series of relatively high-style Federal and later-period houses along Federal Street and Maine Street, which join the campus to downtown Brunswick. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.

Tontine Hotel was a hotel and restaurant in Brunswick, Maine, which was in business between 1828 and 1904. Located at the intersection of Maine Street and School Streets, it was known as the "premier hotel for travelers to Brunswick at the turn of the [20th] century." A new building and the Tontine Mall (completed in 1922) stand in its place today. The hotel, completed in 1828, was four stories tall and was recognized as one of the greatest "landmarks of all Maine." It contained thirty apartments, a banquet hall and stables for fifty horses. Notable guests included United States President Franklin Pierce, Senator James G. Blaine and poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. The Maine Medical Association was established at the hotel on April 28, 1853, after a meeting of 27 physicians. A plaque atop a granite post was erected near the location on the 150th anniversary of the meeting. It lists the attending physicians. In 1856, the hotel's proprietor was James Berry.

Maine Street is the main street passing through Brunswick, Maine, United States. Laid out in 1717, it runs for around 2 miles (3.2 km), from its convergence with Main Street in Topsham in the north to a convergence with Mere Point Road and an intersection with Pleasant Hill Road in the south. The street is part of Brunswick Commercial Historic District. In 2026, Travel + Leisure magazine named Maine Street fourth in its list of America's most charming Main Streets. The Pejepscot Falls Bridge separates Brunswick and Topsham, on the northern side of the Androscoggin River's Brunswick Falls. At its northern end, Maine Street forms the starting point of U.S. Route 201 (US 201). Topsham's Main Street picks up the designation at the bridge's midpoint. At its southern extremity, Maine Street picks up the Maine State Route 24 (SR 24) designation, which it carries north to its intersection with Bath Road, beside Bowdoin College. The need for the route to bypass downtown Brunswick arose because of the low capacity of the Frank J. Wood Bridge (the predecessor to the Pejepscot Falls Bridge). Maine Street was named Twelve Rod Road prior to Maine's statehood in 1820. A rod is an imperial unit equal to 16.5 feet (5.0 m) making the width of Maine Street equal to 198 feet (60 m), one of the state's broadest main streets. Maine Street was formerly the route of the old Indian trail which led between the falls of the Androscoggin and Maquoit Bay. On June 3, 1717, by order of the Pejepscot Proprietors, construction started on the road spanning from Fort George to Maquoit Bay. From Bowdoin College south to Maquoit Bay, a mile distant, the street would be split and called Mere Point Road. U.S. Route 1 passes beneath Maine Street just south of the Pejepscot Falls Bridge, while major intersections along its route (from north to south) are Pleasant Street, Bath Road (SR 24) and Pleasant Hill Road.
