Castine
Castine is a delightfully tranquil village located on a peninsula bounded by the Bagaduce River on one side and Penobscot Bay on the other. It makes a powerful impression upon all who visit: indeed the very name Castine conjures up images of verdant landscapes, of sea-washed shores, and of life in a serene Maine village; images so magical that they become ingrained in one's memory. Castine is a charming, peaceful place, but it has not always been so. Visited as early as 1604 by European explorers and traders, Castine has since been known as the "Battleground of Four Nations" because French, Dutch, English, and American soldiers have fought for control of this strategically important place over the years. The remains of two forts-- Fort George and Fort Madison--stand testimony to the part that Castine played in America's formative wars.

As Goes Maine
A collection of essays about life in Castine, Maine and environs written by writer and educator Todd R. Nelson. During his six years as principal of the Adams School in Castine, and twenty year relationship with the Blue Hill peninsula, Nelson wrote frequently for Maine Public Radio, The Christian Science Monitor, Bangor Daily News, Maine Times, Bangor Metro, and other state and national publications. This book is a collection of those writings.
Historic Taverns and Tea Rooms of Maine
Holding an integral place in Maine's community, the story of its early taverns and tea rooms is an important account of commerce and political and social life. From famed Revolutionary War incidents to Civil War generals, stagecoaches and the story of rum, the history of Maine's early taverns is captivating. The tea rooms of the early 1900s were just as interesting and important. They played a large role in the national tea movement, the temperance and suffragette movements and the promotion of women's independence, and they also symbolized Maine's culture and sophistication. Join local authors Kathy and Bill Kenny as they unveil the stories, characters and history of these establishments over the past four centuries.
