Visiting the Palace Playland
Maine offers plenty of fun and historical attractions to visitors, including a visit to Palace Playland, Maine’s only beachfront amusement park. The park features more than 25 rides and attractions, and something about the park that is different from most others is that admission is completely free. It does cost to go on each of the rides, but you only have to pay for the ones you choose.
Visiting the Maine Maritime Museum and the Town of Bath
When someone thinks of Maine, he or she often thinks of the maritime traditions associated with the state. Shipbuilding, trading, sailing tall ships in rough weather and lobster fishing are all things you can learn about with a visit to the Maine Maritime Museum, which is located in Bath, Maine.
Visiting the Desert of Maine
When most people are driving or hiking through the thick and lush forests of Maine, the last thing they expect to come across is a desert. However, that is just what they will find when they visit one of Maine’s unique attractions.
The Desert of Maine, near Freeport, was not always the vast swathe of sand that it is today. In 1797, the Tuttle family moved onto the land and set up a farm. The farm worked well for several years, and the family grew hay and potatoes. However, because of massive land clearing and not rotating their crops, the soil began to erode and the desert was born.
