The Paquachuck Inn is a treasure intact from the whaling and ship building era which made Westport Point prosperous in the early 1800s. Built by the Cory family in 1827, of hand-hewn timbers and local stone, the Cory store served for many years as ships chandler, sail loft, post office, customs house and general store. The whaleship Kate Cory was built on this site and launched from the adjoining wharf in 1856.

In the early 1950's the building was purchased by George and Millie Reis. It was christened "Paquachuck", an Indian word meaning "cleared hill", by neighbor Susanne Paull, and operated as an inn and restaurant for twenty years. In the late 1980's it was reopened as a bed & breakfast, continuing it's tradition of service to the local community. The Paquachuck Inn is located on Westport's busy Town Dock, home to an active commercial fishing community with a long and rich sea faring tradition. Though quiet and peaceful, it is never boring down on the Point. This riverside location and our own small dock and landing allow guests to arrive by car or boat, and makes it an ideal destination for sportsfishermen as well as sailors, as well as weary travelers, as it always has.
