Welcome to Midcoast Maine

History awaits you in Maine’s Mid-Coast! Brunswick, home to Bowdoin College (Maine’s oldest), and Topsham, known for its series of tunnels designed to hide slaves during the American Civil War, are just some of the historic towns that dot the landscape. Discover Maine’s maritime past at the Maine Maritime Museum in Bath or at Searsport’s Penobscot Marine Museum, the oldest of its kind in Maine. Highway U.S. Route 1 is a fantastic way to see other historic coastal towns like Camden and Rockland, but with the benefit of enjoying Maine’s rocky coastline. Make sure to stop in Bristol to see the Pemaquid Point Lighthouse, which made its own history in 2003 when it became the first lighthouse to appear on American currency!
