Last Friday Caroline and I went with Maddy's class on a Field Trip to the Maine State Museum. I only was in charge of Maddy, her friend Michaela and Caroline, so it was a nice group. There was lots of things to see that were extremely interesting. It's amazing how much heritage the town we live in has. There was a whole display on the Popham Colony which was founded in our town by the English in 1607 before Plymouth and Jamestown. There was also lots on Ship building and there was a replica of the St Mary that was built in Phippsburg. It collided with another ship on it's Meridian mission, however parts of it are preserved at the Museum. We also saw lots of Indian Artifacts and the kids got to try to make there own Arrowheads! There was a display about the Indian Settlements that were in the Aziscohos Lake Region (this is the lake our Camp is on). I remember as a child visiting the Archaeological digging sites on our lake, it was really neat. My Dad actually found a bunch of Arrowheads during that time. Anyway we had a great day and a trip to the Maine State Museum is well worth it!
