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.
