Mainers love their history and their art, and they seem to have a lot of trouble throwing things away. The result is a lot of museums and historic homes in the state. And don't forget the forts. Built to protect and defend, few were ever fired upon. Today, nearly three dozen forts or fort sites continue to stand guard, capturing a bit of Maine's history in their granite walls and gun batteries. Maine's rich culture and history is very accessible.
