In the early 1800s, the Portland Gazette proclaimed that “Maine is the ice-storehouse of the world.” For nearly two centuries, the harvesting and export of natural ice was a staple of Maine’s economy. It had a reputation as the thickest, purest ice money could buy. Kennebec ice, in particular, was advertised up and down the East Coast as the premier product. Its ice was so prized for its purity and thickness that it was shipped as far away as India and China.

Maine has always been a state known for its textiles. The first woolen mill in America was built in Saco, Maine in 1793. It wasn't until 1837 that another woolen mill was built, this time in the small town of Mayall's Mill. The mill was originally built by Samuel Mayall and his family. 

The spooky season is here! Our kids have been planning costumes and plotting trick-r-treat routes for weeks now and the wait is almost over. On Monday October 31st you will find us sipping hot drinks along Main St on the Mall ready to cheer on all the goblins, superheroes and princesses walking in the parade. 

Just because summer is over doesn’t mean you can’t still enjoy the outdoors! Maine + New Hampshire provide a front-row show of the changing of the seasons and some of the best leaf peeping around!
