The Robinhood Free Meeting House, along the Sheepscot River in Georgetown, is a scenic and historic events venue under the direction of owners Carlos and Ali Barrionuevo.

They have scheduled a variety of celebrations, including weddings, musical performances, educational seminars, and unique culinary experiences. The Meetinghouse was built more than 160 years ago as a shared place of community gatherings and worship. It has been a high school, business location, and fine-dining French restaurant.

Chef Ali Barrionuevo is focused on using the bounty of the waters and supporting Georgetown’s fishing heritage. On Saturday, June 15, there are three special events open to the public: Kayak the Cove is a tour of Robinhood Cove and local aquaculture farms, an early evening panel discussion features experts on Maine’s fisheries, and a dinner follows with five courses of local seafood. The kayak tour ($30 per person) and Dinner ($55 per person) require reservations at SeatheFutureMaine.com.
