News and Stories About the Eastport Area:

 

The secret is out! Eastport is one of eight cities nationwide featured in the documentary film, Our Towns, based on the national bestselling book of the same name by James and Deborah Fallows. The Fallows began their exploration of Eastport in 2013 and, struck by the creativity, optimism, and strategic enterprise of our little village, began writing about their discovery in a series of Atlantic Magazine essays.
