    Valuable For Heat, For Home Cooking, The Farm House Wood Stove.

    If you have never been to a SAAM bean supper, enjoyed socializing, hearing farm stories or touring the newest antique farm displays, you have missed out big time.

    The museum is housed in the former Littleton Elementary School.

    Is full of household items, farm tools, room displays of the era and a machinery shed.

    It is not just tractors of all colors, vintages. More than farming equipment, attachments. But just as much a glimpse at the day to day way of life long ago on the family farm in Maine.

    Take a video tour of the Southern Aroostook County Farmers Museum in Littleton Maine right now.

    Like many local community activities in small town Maine, you don’t just pay, attend events, go home, that’s that.

    No no. You pick your collection of them to work, make the event possible with a home made, hands on approach. Bring whatever talents tap you as the best to pair up with others that have the same interest, background, skills. And then pretty much that group are your buddies for the rest of your life in that small Maine town. Working that activity. This is one of your projects to run, improve, make sure happens yearly. It’s on your shoulders, to do list.

    You step up, you feel connected, needed. You contribute your creative spirit, blood, sweat and tears.

    Passion for your Maine town to make it special, unique, what it is. Log on to the SAAM site.

    The Southern Aroostook Agricultural museum is located on US Rt 1, Littleton ME.

    Like to help them expand, work in the one room school house or new Maine barn project? The small general store display? Your talent is needed. You get back way way more than you put in with the personal satisfaction. That you pitch in to create, keep adding to and improve. That’s the deep satisfaction of living in a small Maine town parked on the New Brunswick Canadian – Aroostook County border.

    Plan, scheme, implement. With in this case a neat group of Maine farmer preservationists. That happen to be out of this World cooks, like to put on memorable buffet spreads too. Now I’m pretty hungry and can’t wait for the next Southern Aroostook Agricultural Museum public supper.

  • You’re Lucky Enough To Be Able To Drive, Cruise, Fly In To Maine, Aroostook County.

    Maine Lakes Are Unspoiled, Fished Filled, Soothing To Be On, Look Out Over.

    Aroostook County, the top of Maine, the size of Connecticut and Rhode Island combined.

    Somehow, by fate, coincidence or just sheer luck you get to spend a day in the “Crown of Maine”, in Aroostook County. What to do to make the best use of your time, to hit the highlights? Like a cruise ship that floats to three islands, and you collect all three t-shirts getting off to sample each venue for a day. Your cruise ship is in Aroostook County, parked, waiting for you to get back on board, to sail south.

    You are not going to be doing the Allagash Wilderness Waterway trip. Too many days and that is an advernture for the next few day vacation you set aside on your return to Aroostook County. The Allagash trip is technically in Piscataquis County if the truth be known. Just like Baxter State Park is technically in Penobscot County’s northern most regions for the north entrance to climb Mt Katahdin.

    So you are only here for a day which means a quick trip across the Canadian border in to New Brunswick, Quebec that both border us could be in the short time frame. Just to say you’ve been there, read the metric signs, learned a little roadside French. Collected a loonie or two for a sourvenir. If you had little kids with you, a climb up Horse Mountain, an easy trail in Baxter State Park would be memorable. Or a similiar hike up Echo Mountain at Aroostook State Park, Haystack Mountain in Caste Hill would give you scenery, exercise in the short period you cruise ship is anchored in Northern Maine. Outdoors is big in Maine. All four seasons. If you landed here in the winter, snowsledding to really cover ground would be a possibility. That adventure gets you to places not accessible by car and loaded with wildlife, scenery.

    Just spending the day on one of the many lakes, ponds, rivers in Aroostok County could be what you had it mind. Put your feet up, lean back on a lake deck and peer out over the water.

    Just relaxing without any huffing and puffing in Northern Maine.

    Low key, but still with water in front of your, along with fish jumping, a coffee in your hand while the sun rises, birds serenade you. You saw a moose, deer, black bear all from your open deck or while driving around Aroostook County. Bean suppers at local community churches or say the Southern Aroostook Agricultural Museum are not a bad use of a few hours during your trek thru Northern Maine either. Or if you land here around June 19th, you could watch the Northern Maine Soap Box Derby Race in Houlton Maine. It was the nation’s largest five years in a row!

    The best part of Aroostook County is not the unspoiled rolling fields, woods, waterways and long views. Not the wildlife in Northern Maine either or watching the changing of the seasons. It’s the people. Hardworking, family oriented, down to earth and interesting. Simple living by choice, but anything but simple mentally. Mainers have their feet on the ground, are focused on taking care of the neat region we are blessed with. We enjoy where we live, who we are, and want to meet you too. You will come away from Aroostook County’s day visit with a sense of peace, hope. Knowing there is a place where the pace of life is not 200 miles an hour, other people matter and time out to enjoy the four season beauty of a place like Aroostook County really happens. You’ll be back from your day long taste to spend more time here. To get to know Aroostook County..the “other Maine”.
