Falmouth: I-295 Mile 10 NB

In Maine, few towns have histories so firmly bound to Casco Bay as Falmouth. Set on the bay’s northeastern shore, just north of Portland, it combines residential neighborhoods with shoreline access at Falmouth Town Landing and links to the bay’s coves and islands. Mackworth Island, reached by a causeway, is a state park with walking trails and the home of the Maine Educational Center for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. Incorporated in 1718, Falmouth once covered a far larger area that included land from which Portland was later formed.

Atlantic coastline and extensive northern forests define much of Maine - fishing ports, boatbuilding communities and the forest-products industry have long shaped the state’s economy and identity. The Gulf of Maine cuts into a rugged shore of islands, peninsulas and tidal inlets, while the Penobscot River runs from the interior toward Penobscot Bay. Inland, Baxter State Park contains Mount Katahdin, the northern terminus of the Appalachian Trail. Acadia National Park on Mount Desert Island protects granite headlands and coastal woodland. Maritime traditions remain tangible in Maine’s lobster fishery, and Portland Head Light, completed in 1791, stands near Portland as a historic beacon.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
