![]() With all of the uncertainty regarding the re-opening of schools this Fall, please consider taking your child(ren) on an educational trip!! The USA has so much to offer, in each & every state, but here on the coast of Maine (particularly at Acadia National Park or the various maritime & fishing museums along the coast) there's so much that your child(ren) can learn, outside of the traditional classroom. For example, did you know? *Maine is the only state to share its border with only one other US state? It is the only state bordered on three sides by Canada. *Acadia National Park is the 2nd most visited national park in the US? *Cadillac Mountain (in Acadia) is the first place (in the US) to view the sunrise October thru March? *Maine has the most forest cover of any other state (hence the name the 'pine tree state')? *The University of Maine is the oldest, largest and only research university in the state? *The first naval battle of the Revolutionary War was fought of Machias, Maine in 1775? *Maine has more than 60 lighthouses. The Portland Head Light is the oldest lighthouse in the state and was the first lighthouse completed after independence from the British? *Outside of Alaska, Maine has the largest population of Moose in the United States? *Maine is the only state in the United States whose name has one syllable? *Approximately 40 million pounds (nearly 90%) of the nation's lobster supply is caught off the coast of Maine? *Maine produces 99% of all of the blueberries in the country, making it the single largest producer of blueberries in the US?
