The building known for many years as the Long Reach Building was opened as the Kennebec Tavern on February 4, 1997. Gene and Kristi Nygaard have owned and operated the restaurant since its opening. The skill and pride of Bath shipbuilding remains today as an inspiration wherever fine ships are known and appreciated, and we at the Kennebec Tavern are committed to follow in the tradition with other Bath businesses to deliver quality to our customers.
