Points of Interest[]
- Collinsport
- Collinsport is a coastal community located on the Eastern shore of Maine. It was founded (originally) in the late 1600s by English entrepreneur Joshua Collins, who established not only his family lineage there, but also a thriving fishing fleet and cannery, which became the backbone of the town for generations. Other accounts state that Joshua didn't establish Collinsport until the late 18th century. By the 1970s, nearly everyone in town bore some sort of connection to the powerful Collins family, many of whom were employed by their business enterprises. Various points of interest in Collinsport include Collinwood, which was the ancestral Gothic mansion of the Collins family, as well as Eagle Hill Cemetery, where many of the family members were buried, St. Eustace Island, which was a marshy wetlands environment that contained an old dilapidated chapel monastery, as well as everyone's favorite drinking establishment, the Blue Whale.
- Portland
- Portland is the county seat of Cumberland County and the largest city in the state. It is located in the southeastern region of the state and is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean. The area was first settled in 1633 and became an incorporated city in 1786. Portland is best known as the birth place of legendary horror novelist Stephen King, who was born on September 21st, 1947.
