One of the educational requirements in the state of Maine is to have a Maine studies class at some point. We were hoping to spend last spring and summer doing just that, but COVID kind of disrupted the 200th birthday celebration here, so we postponed until this fall. We are reading a few great books about happenings in Maine history. One of them even has gazetteer locations so that you can go and explore the different monuments and historic places after learning about them.
In the last few weeks we have taken field trips to Fort Western in Augusta, Thomaston, Owl's Head, Marshall Point, and a tour of the statues and memorials around the Capital in Augusta. Everyone's favorite class so far:)
