Local History & Island Storytelling Heritage
Mary's Porch sits on a historically meaningful property once home to a beloved island cottage known for its screened porch gatherings and storytelling traditions.

Original architectural elements from the historic home, including bricks and the front door, have been preserved and incorporated into the property today.
