Trip to Maine - Post #16: Maine State Museum

After visiting the Maine State Capitol Building we walked across the sidewalk and visited the Maine State Museum. As self-described by the museum:

"The museum's four floors of world-class exhibits provide a chance to explore and discover the best of Maine, from the Ice Age to the 1960s."

This was a lovely museum and much larger than it looks from the outside. The museum extends several floors into the ground and is filled with Maine history! Apparently we didn't take any picture while we were inside the museum, so here's a stock photo. :-)

We didn't spend more than a partial day in Augusta, but the Capitol Building and State Museum filled several hours of our day and we had a lot of fun learning about the political history and natural history of Maine.
