Maine Postcards from the Edge

Maine Postcards & Voices is a blog of, and about, Maine.

My family has lived in, worked in, and been a part of the New England Destination Resort environment for over 50 years – I started at age 10. In 1956, our parents purchased the hotel next door to the cottage we had vacationed in on Martha’s Vineyard for the previous eight summers (the sellers included the cottage in the deal).  The hotel had 36 rooms, full dining facilities, and a cocktail lounge. Twelve years later we left the Vineyard when my parents purchased Migis Lodge on Sebago Lake in South Casco, Maine. Since then, our family has been involved in either owning or managing five destination resort properties in Maine. As you might imagine, during this time we’ve met thousands of travelers vacationing in Maine, the State whose moniker is “Vacation Land”.

The purpose of this blog is to give those of you who are interested in Maine, whether you’re thinking of visiting, going to school in Maine, or just love the spectacular coastline (over 3500 miles long) and lakes of this State, a chance to see places and hear voices that those vacationing in the State rarely see or hear.
