The historic buildings surrounding the court house are speckled with restaurants, antique stores, and even wineries.

I visited Maine for my second time recently. The first time, I left with it in my heart. I longed for its easygoing vibe and daydreamed of its breathtaking scenery.

I mean, just LOOK at this house! Ah! It’s my dream. come. true. Built from limestone found directly beneath the structure in 1851 for a ship’s architect & captain, the house was occupied
