OUTSTANDING MAINE ATTRACTIONS:
THINGS TO SEE AND DO IN THE GREAT STATE OF MAINE 
 On
this page, we offer some excellent things to see and do for people who
are looking for a great New England getaway or New England vacations. We
start off with Family Activities in Maine, move to Hiking next, and then
onto lighthouses. We'll be offering a more complete list as time goes by.
Many lighthouses have become private residences, so we make sure that you
stay away from those. You don't want to be admiring a lighthouse only to
have someone inside object to your presence. We finish this page with museums, of which there are a great many.
Wherever you choose to go on your Maine Getaway or Maine vacations, you can start by looking at our list of things to do in Maine below the Google search box. If there are other activities you'd like to see listed here, please let us know. Send an email to jhyde@newenglandtimes.com your humble editor and we'll look into adding it for you.

In the Beginning There Was Plymouth
Learn about how the Pilgrims built and established Plimoth Plantation. It was hardly an easy task, made all the more difficult by weather and failed crops. It's now a living history museum well worth the visit.

What Makes NewEnglandTimes.Com Different from Other New England Sites? Plenty. For Starters, this Site Is Yours
Make Sure to Check the Weather Before you Come.
Mother Nature is a caprious old gal. If you don't like the weather, wait a while. That's the saying in the northern most New England states where the weather changes can be abrupt and tough to drive through, although the folks who clear the roads up here in winter do a smashing job.
