a well known author, artist, historian, philanthropist, and world traveler from Kennebunk, Maine had a hobby of marking historical sites and erected a monument on the original Richard Vines property as a tribute to Vines. Measuring 49-1/2 by 19-by-34-by-21 feet, Barry had a large granite monument with a bronze tablet placed commemorating Vines' successful stay through his first winter 1616-1617. In 1931, Barry met with the Rebecca Emery Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, and offered to will the Chapter the Vines Monument, and the land where it's located, with a stipulation that the monument never be moved from its original location. The Rebecca Emery Chapter agreed and has been taking care of the monument ever since. The monument stands at 56 Bridge Road at Leighton's Point, Biddeford, Maine. The monument is on the Maine Registry of Historic Places. References Preston, Richard.
