St Croix Island Historical Site

My family and I were traveling between Lubec and Calais, and decided to drop in on this particular attraction - and are so glad that we did. This small site has some great scenery, but is of particular interest to history geeks. The grounds, including various metal statues and well-presented history of one of the very earliest European settlements in North America is fascinating. The gentleman who was on duty in the visitors' centre gave us a very informative overview of a bit of history with which we were less familiar - in part as it was more Francophone than Anglophone. Absolutely worth the visit.

The upstairs has travel information and some displays, and if you go downstairs there is a touch tank and interactive displays of the area's marine life, history, and Native American tribes. Enoyable for kids, or any age. There is a waterfront walking trail behind the building.
