Known for its rocky, rugged coastline, turbulent maritime history, and spectacular nature, Maine is steeped in a history formed by hard-working people and is a wonderful place to visit with the whole family, whether you are a history buff or a nature lover. Maine museums – the Portland Museum of Art or the Farnsworth Art Museum – showcase some of the country’s best and most influential painters. The entire coast of Maine is magnificent, from colorful lighthouses such as the Cape Neddick Light or West Quoddy Head Light to the fine sandy beaches of Mount Desert Island.
