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

Alfred became the full shiretown about 1830. In New England, county government is weaker than in the rest

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.

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

History of 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.
