South Berwick: Great Works
Among the towns of southern Maine, South Berwick stands out for its position beside the Salmon Falls River on the New Hampshire line. The river powered mills that helped shape the community, while the older centre retains the scale of a New England town rather than a coastal resort. South Berwick is closely associated with writer Sarah Orne Jewett, whose family home on Portland Street is preserved as the Sarah Orne Jewett House, a National Historic Landmark. Her writing drew deeply on the people and places of coastal Maine. Wooded lowlands and river corridors surround the town, and the broader Seacoast region links it with Portsmouth, Dover and the Maine coast.

South Berwick combines a small-town center with a border-river setting in a way that reflects its position on the Salmon Falls River between Maine and New Hampshire. The river forms the town’s western edge and has long linked this community with settlements across the state line. South Berwick is closely associated with writer Sarah Orne Jewett, who was born here; the Sarah Orne Jewett House preserves the setting connected with her New England fiction. The town lies in southern Maine’s coastal hinterland, in the wider Piscataqua region rather than directly on the Atlantic shore.

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.
