With funding and support from the Maine Office of Tourism, the Maine Atlas Project will identify and promote 250 places, people, events, and objects that represent Maine’s unique cultural, natural, and historical assets. These will include historic sites, scenic landscapes, parks, agricultural areas, festivals and fairs, iconic buildings and businesses, notable people and makers, and significant cultural centers. We will create a marketing campaign that includes video content, photography, storytelling, and social media to highlight these special people, objects, places, and events.
The Commission is seeking nominations from the public to help compile this comprehensive look at Maine’s past 250 years. Have a site, person, object, or event you want to nominate? Anyone can submit - just click below! Nominations are open through July 9, 2025.
