History and Architecture

Maine, like the rest of ‘New’ England, is steeped in the past. So there’s plenty of ways to celebrate its history, culture and historic architecture.

• Visit one of Maine’s many history and heritage Museums.

• Roam the state’s Historic Districts, which are scattered throughout Maine. They feature everything from sea captains’ houses to gigantic mills.

• Wander through those historic homes that are preserved as museums. These allow you an intimate glimpse of how Mainers once lived and worked.

• Enjoy the fairs, festivals and concerts that help Maine connect the many strands of its heritage and culture.
