worth the drive
At Maine’s borders with New Hampshire, Quebec, and New Brunswick, culture, history, and flavor flow freely.
Geography nerds know one curious factoid about Maine:it’s the only state to border just one other state but two provinces.
At the edges of the country, Maine is pushed by New Hampshire into Quebec and New Brunswick. The effects of this oddity transcend lines on a map, however. Mainers living and working in communities on the borders see that the history and flavors of local life celebrate all that emerges from creative exchange.
