Meet the people and places—and hear the stories—that make the 527 miles from Kittery to Fort Kent a unique and unforgettable experience. Plus at the back of each section get a short but sweet list of the best places to visit, stay, and eat along your way. From potato country to Down East, the Mid Coast to the Southern Beaches, Route 1 packs in everything Maine has to offer—and this book is a must-have trip companion.
