Fort Knox was constructed beginning in 1844 to help prevent any potential invasions from Britain. This part of Maine was invaded by the British during both the Revolution and the War of 1812, and the area was also open to border disputes between the US and Canada. Much...

World Traveler Sign

  • 12/27/2008

This can be found where Routes 5 & 35 meet in Lynchville. A semi-famous place in the state of Maine, the sign has been appearing on postcards and has been a family photo op for decades. The places listed on the sign are actually nearby (for the most...

  • 12/27/2008

Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream Factory is quite a popular tourist destination in Vermont. But while most people go there to sample flavors, see ice cream being made, or to check out the gift shop, I had a different agenda. Up on a hill a bit to the...

Actual dinosaur footprints? In their original location and undisturbed? NOT plaster casts? I had to see. As a kid, I was big into dinosaurs. I know most kids were, but most kids also thought of them as big lizard things that ate each other and cavemen. I could...

Champ’s Monument

  • 11/27/2007

I am fully aware that this is a very, very dumb addition to the site. And I don’t care. When I was little, I read nothing but ghost and cryptozoology books. One monster I was particularly fond of was Champ, Lake Champlain’s monster, the US version of Nessie....
