In this week’s episode we are going to talk about Famous Architecture in Maine. From modern museums to historic houses Maine has a rich history of beautiful architecture. First on our list is the Portland Museum of Art.The public face of the Museum is the Charles Shipman Payson designed by Harry Cobb of Pei Cobb Freed Architects. The museum however is three vastly different and architecturally significant buildings that showcase architecture in Maine through the years. Next on our list is the Victoria Mansion. This much loved Portland landmark has amazing seasonal activities and tours of the beautiful architecture. If you are in Kennebunk check out the Wedding Cake House. This house that looks very much like a wedding cake was built in 1852 by a shipbuilder. Or if you are going north stop in Augusta and check out the Blaine House in Maine’s capital. Last but not least check out SabbathDay Lake Shaker Village, established in 1783 this active shaker village has 17 historic structures and plenty of activities.

An iconic lighthouse, storied blueberries and the freshest lobster you can eat. Join Host Oneika Raymond on a road trip up the Maine coast to get a sense of the endearing character that northern New England has to offer.

Our first stop is in York, Maine to enjoy one of the most photographed lighthouses in Maine, the Nubble Lighthouse. We’ll hear from locals just what makes the Nubble so special — beyond its reputation as a tourist attraction.

Then, we’ll make a stop in Kennebunk, Maine to hear from the loyal customers of Wallingford Farm about what sets Maine blueberries apart, and how best to enjoy them.

Finally, no Maine coast road trip is complete until we get our hands on some fresh lobster! On this last leg of the road trip we’ll be stopping at Casco Bay for a cruise on the lobster fishing boat the Lucky Catch. On this cruise we’ll learn the ins and outs of lobster fishing and how Maine lobstermen have been on the forefront of crustacean conservation.

Once we arrive in Portland, we recommend the AC hotel by Marriott which has a breathtaking view of the Casco Bay. There’s tons to do nearby like exploring the Old Port District or if you want to stay indoors, the AC lounge is the ideal restaurant to enjoy the Portland sunset while snacking on some tapas and cocktails.

To get a look at the Nubble Lighthouse, you can see it at http://nubblelight.org, or just search #NubbleLighthouse on Instagram. For a taste of Wallingford Farm, visit WallingfordFarm.com. To book a trip with Lucky Catch, go to LuckyCatch.com.
