Maine is full of surprises and little known historical facts. It’s a museum-lover’s diamond mine and home to more surviving forts than any other state. Many historic homes, among them Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s and Lucy Farnsworth’s, are preserved as museums. The Maine State Museum, in Augusta, highlights the history of the state and its people. Learn about Acadian culture in the St. John Valley. The Maine Maritime Museum is the quintessential porthole into the state’s nautical heritage. You’ll find history is fun when you cruise Moosehead Lake on the historic “Katahdin,” watch a bi-plane soar at Owl’s Head Transportation Museum, ride a trolley at the Seashore Trolley Museum or step back in time at Norlands Living History Center.
