Maine is a state that is chock full of uber talented folks dreaming up and bringing to life a wealth of high quality, unique, handcrafted creations.
Simply meandering along Route 1 will expose you to numerous galleries, wineries, breweries, artisan workshops, craft co-ops, photographers – you name it. And there’s a lot more to Maine than just what is along Route 1!
