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.

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.

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.
