Koreshan State Park. In 1893, the Koreshans, a religious sect founded by Dr. Cyrus R. Teed, moved here and built a settlement based on a commitment to communal living and a belief that the universe existed on the inside of the Earth. Living celibate lives, the enterprising Koreshans established a farm, nursery and botanical gardens.

Fisherman's Point, South Portland, Maine

Fishermen's Point, South Portland, Maine. Spring Point Ledge Light in background. Fishermen’s Point was used by fishermen to store their gear. There were once many more fishing shacks than there are today, many lost in the 1900s due to storms. Now that the shacks are vacant, the point is simply a scenic spot to view the harbor.
