The photographs in the exhibition capture moments that illuminate the spectacular Maine scenery, life on the coast, industrial and agricultural history, summer tourists at play, people at work, and a variety of other activities.

Explore Maine’s stories and enjoy work by such photographers as Emma L. Coleman, Baldwin Coolidge, Alfred Wayland Cutting, Edwin Martin, Henry G. Peabody, Fred Quimby, Verner Reed, and Elise Tyson.
