    Preservation of the past on the rail lines this was worth the minimum price they ask.

    My 4 year old daughter loved the train ride. She is the reason we went on it.

    The Harbor They Fall…read more 1.6-mile out-and-back trail that outline the City of Belfast's picturesque harbor. The Good: *Very easy flat trail that's good for everyone, even kids. *Dog-friendly *Free! *Restrooms (see trail map for locations) *Adjacent to lots of food and shopping, if that's your jam. *You can connect to the Belfast Rail Trail to make it an even longer walk. *Picturesque views of the harbor, bay, and a working shipyard The Meh: *The trail is almost too easy and flat. You'll get your steps but not your cardio. The Ugly: *Parking can be a bit difficult during certain days and seasons, but not impossible. Conclusion: Fantastic trail with great views and a must-see if you're visiting Belfast, Maine.

    You can find the Belfast Harbor Walk at Front St, Belfast, ME 04915 - it basically extends from the…read moreBelfast Armistice Bridge along the shoreline to Heritage Park in the East. There's a small lot where you can park right at the Bridge, which allows for foot traffic across the Passagassawakeag River. If you park at that end, there's a portapotty conveniently located by the lot. We parked, crossed the river to get in sights of the river, then moved to the West across the Belfast Rail Trail - you're rewarded at the end with a small station, caboose and a car or two before turning around. Returning and going the other direction takes you into Belfast where you can experience a small New England town that's been there pretty much longer than the US has been around - the area is hilly which makes for some neat adjustments to the architecture - along Belfast Harbor are massive boat lifts and boats/ships of all sizes that are being worked on by the local marine establishments - this is an active harbor with lots to see, a local brewery or two and stuff you wouldn't normally experience as landlubbers. The whole like totaled up to around 6 miles with the Rail Trail, bridge, visit to the town plus a lookaround. Neat place.

    We loved this place. It's a large yellow building, easy to find on Main Street in Machias. This is…read morethe site of the first naval battle of the Revolutionary War. We were visiting from the Midwest and admittedly don't recall many details from history class, so we literally thought it was a historical site that had been turned into a bar and wondered if the staff would be dressed up as war re-enactors! It is not that at all and it turned out to be a highlight of our stay in Maine. The guide we had is a history teacher and she knew a lot about a lot-the actual events but also the real humans involved and their families. She knew all about how households of the time were run, typical family routines and roles, how foods were prepared, household tools and textiles, attitudes and social expectations, superstitions and legends. She inspired all three of us (two adults and a teenager) to learn more about Machias and the Revolutionary War in general. This museum makes it so much easier to connect to the real people who lived through and made this history. It is unlike any other historical tour I've been on. I would have stayed longer if I could have. There is something for everyone here, it's not just about the war and shots fired. You go room by room and spend a good 20-30 minutes or longer in each room depending on how many questions you ask about the items in that room. It is a very detailed and data intensive tour, so don't go if you're hungover, hungry or not in the mood to absorb, observe and be immersed. If you are a naval history buff or a Revolutionary War buff, call them and schedule a visit to see if you can help them identify some of the pieces they've received over the years from folks who maybe didn't know what they were donating. I don't recommend this for young kids or people who aren't comfortable in small spaces. The museum is a boarding house/tavern and has been kept pristine in its original 1770s state, so think very small rooms, low ceilings. The tour groups are kept small so there is enough room as you walk through. Call ahead to schedule and make sure there is a guide available on the day you want to go. I was so impressed with the passion and dedication behind this tour. We were there two weeks ago and are still talking about it and looking up books at the library.
