ME: Augusta, State Capital
When Maine separated from Massachusetts and became a state in 1820. The first capital of Maine was Portland, but it moved to Augusta because of its more central location. Augusta became the capital in 1832.
Built using Maine granite, the State House was based on the design of the Massachusetts State House.
A gilt copper statue of Minerva, the draped female figure of Wisdom, by William Clark Noble of Gardiner, surmounted the dome.
The weather-worn, long- oxidized copper sheathing of the dome was replaced in 2014 for the first time since 1909-1920. Gone was the long familiar green color. After the scaffolding was removed and the project completed, the dome shined like a new penny for a short time until it turned to brown. The dome will not turn green again for about 30 years.
The governor's office is located in renovated space on the second floor at the rear of the central portion of the Capitol along with the Hall of Flags and the law library.
At the south side of the Capitol grounds, the Maine State Library, Maine State Museum and Maine State Archives are housed in a modern building.

Franklin Graham's Decision America 2016 Message - Augusta, Maine.
In the Summer of 2016, Franklin Graham stopped in Augusta Maine to deliver his message in front of the State Capitol. The message was critically important- VOTE!
While there are many flavors of conservative in America, we owe it to ourselves to listen closely to the values and tenets that not only gave our Founding Fathers the wisdom to create a more Perfect Union, but also inspired and led some of our greatest leaders. Ronald Reagan, among others drew his strength from the example set by Jesus Christ and the teachings of the Bible.
Let us never forget what is most important in this life. Let's be sure to keep faith, not in man, but in His promise. Blessed is the nation who's God is the Lord.

DRIVING IN NORTHERN MAINE, U.S.A.
In this video, driving on US Route 1 from about its Northern Terminus (Southern Terminus is in Key West, FL) located around Madawaska all the way to I-95 Junction.
Almost none out-of-state license plates in this very remote area except the neighboring New Brunswick, Canada license plates.
Very beautiful area especially during the white snowy winter season IF you're into winter sports.
More Maine videos to come heading south.
Enjoy the summer and always drive safely.

Visit Fort Western. Augusta, Maine
Fort Western was a colonial outpost at the head of navigation on the Kennebec River at modern Augusta, Maine, United States. It was built in 1754 by a Boston land company (the Kennebec Proprietors) to promote settlement in the area. The fort was a log palisade with blockhouses which protected a store and warehouse. It was never directly attacked. From a high elevation a large rectangular enclosure commanded the river for more than a mile. Blockhouses 24 feet square and watch-boxes 12 feet square guarded opposite corners, and within stood a two-story main house 100 feet by 32 feet.
