Lake Wesserunsett is probably best known for being

the home of Lakewood Theater. The Lakewood Resort and Inn opened as

America's first summer theater in 1901. It served as a tryout location

for many productions destined for Broadway. Steam powered passenger

boats would connect with trolley cars in nearby towns to bring visitors

to the resort which offered recreation, camping, and tourist bungalows

in addition to the theater. The Maine State Legislature designated

Lakewood as the State Theater of Maine in 1967. Summer visitors to

Lakewood can still catch a show, enjoy fine dining, or play a round of

golf on the shores of this state treasure.
