Latest Memoirs
One of my best memories of Maine, happened just this past summer. Since my husband and I work all summer at our business, Northeast Guide Service, it's tough to get away with friends and family during the summer months in Maine. So, my family came to visit me in the Moosehead Lake Region during my parents 40th wedding anniversary. We enjoyed the Katahdin Cruise on Moosehead, kayaking, camp fires and fun!
As part of the familiarization trip the staff had a fascinating visit to the new Outdoor Heritage Museum in Oquossoc at the corner of Routes 4 and 17 just outside of Rangeley.This museum heralds Maine's outdoor hunting and fishing heritage and the role the Rangeley area played in making Maine a premier outdoor sporting destination since the mid 1800's.The Museum tells of the adventures of sportsmen from all over the world in quest of the enormous wild brook trout and other game. Their travels, stay, and adventures are chronicled as well as famous local guides and personalities which made the area famous. A beautiful log cabin style museum completed in the fall of 2010 compliments the area and provides a setting for the rich history of the area. Loved the Visit
My co-workers and I toured the awesome Skye Theatre Performing Arts Center and enjoyed an outstanding Celtic performance from The Press Gang! It is so well designed and such an incredible stage! What a treasure in Western Maine in the town of South Carthage!
This spring the other Visitor Information Center Managers and I were treated to a trip to the Franklin County area, to enjoy what our Lakes & Mountains Region has to offer, the trip was amazing! A couple of the highlights, for me, were visiting Washburn Norlands Living History Center & the Rangeley Outdoor Sporting Heritage Museum, hearing the Franklin County Fiddlers and “The Woodland Bard” Jeep Wilcox - Maine’s Unique Storyteller. But it all was wonderful, from the history, to the hospitality and everything in between!
We went for a guided group tour of Washburn-Norlands Living History Museum in May. It was wonderful. Such dedicated folks we met as we ventured along our tour. We spent time in the schoolhouse as students of yesteryear, visited the church and toured the homestead. The new section, just built, is for the working kitchen and bedrooms above for people getting a first hand experience as they live in the last century for a short time. The memory will stay with me until I can return again and again.
