Maine's Bicentennial

In the 'Hard Tellin' animated series, local TV fellah and comedian Teagan Wright tells us the very early legend of a native Maine God who brought peace to the region. He also hilariously explains the origin of our beloved adult beverage.

And now, the second installment in the 'Hard Tellin' series. Teagan tells us the early Maine story of Abbie Burgess. In 1856 at the age of 16 she spent "30 days in a hell of nor'eastah lighting the candles for the safety of our Maine waters!" at the Matinicus lighthouse in St. George.

Local TV personality Teagan Wright explains how Vikings were the first outsiders to discovery the land we call Maine in this wicked funny short video.

Bring your friends and family to the Maine Maritime Museum during the month of January while admission is free as part of Maine's Bicentennial celebration.

With the Great State of Maine's 200th Birthday coming next year, we can't think of a better way to show our pride than with these wicked hilarious t-shirts created by our friends at O'Chang Comics.
