Reisbureaus / Reisorganisaties
Maine is een populaire toeristische bestemming, maar kent barre winters met als gevolg dat de grote toevloed
van bezoekers zich beperkt tot de warme zomermaanden. Veel van deze bezoekers bezitten een tweede huis in Main waar zij gedurende de zomermaanden bivakkeren om in het na-seizoen weer naar hun
hoofdverblijf te vertrekken. Dat is het 'zomervolk' van Maine.

From striking coastal views to sweeping mountain vistas, dramatic natural settings abound. In addition great
care has been taken to preserve and refurbish numerous historic landmarks, homes and buildings. Consequently, the Maine of yesteryear is still found here.
From Belfast, the county seat, to Searsport, the anchor of port activity in mid-coast Maine and nearby
Stockton Springs bordering Penobscot Bay, to Winterport on the Penobscot River, to the inlands of Unity,
Liberty, Monroe and Thorndike to Lincolnville with its 2 town centers, Waldo County is a wonderful place to be
at any time of the year. Henry David Thoreau may have been talking to potential Waldo County visitors where he said "Probe the earth and see where your main(e) roots run." Washington York - York County
York County is one of the oldest, if not the oldest, county in America. It was established in 1636. The first
shiretown (county seat) was in York. For a time, both York and Alfred served as one-half shiretowns until
Alfred became the full shiretown about 1830. In New England, county government is weaker than in the rest
of the country since, historically, the towns developed earlier and since the towns in Maine now have a measure of "home rule" whereas the counties do not.

central location becomes a starting point for interesting day trips to visitors and residents alike.

drive along the countryside to see farmers planting their crops or tilling the soil. Mom-and-pop businesses
along the country roads are where you can find home baked goods, home grown foods and a little local gossip, too. The area is well known for its exceptional crafts and antiques. Bethel - Bethel Area Chamber of Commerce - bij het populaire Sunday River Ski Resort

Grafton Notch State Park and the White Mountain National Forest, there is a special feeling in Bethel. Nestled

has welcomed visitors for more than two hundred years! Once the destination of the wealthy from New York

Geschiedenis van Maine
History of Portland [ Wikipedia ]
Portland, Maine was originally called Machigonne by the native people who first lived there. It was settled by
the British in 1632 as a fishing and trading settlement and renamed Casco. In 1658 its name was changed again, this time to Falmouth... Maines First Ship [ Bath ]
Almost 400 years ago ...a Maine vessel launched America's love affair with shipbuilding. In 1607 ...at the
mouth of Maine's Kennebec River, a group of hardy English settlers established a fragile foothold on this
coast, 13 years before the Pilgrims. Here they created the continent's first ocean going ship, a 30-ton pinnace, calling it The Virginia. Victoria Mansion [ Portland ]
Victoria Mansion, also known as the Morse-Libby House, is the finest example of residential design from the
pre-Civil War era in America. With superb architecture and well-preserved original interiors that were among
the most lavish and sophisticated in their day, it is an unparalleled document of America's highest aspirations
in architecture, interior design, and the decorative arts. Our history, a quick tour, and our present-day efforts
at restoring the Mansion convey an impression of the significance of this unique site, which is of national and even international importance.
