Whether you're a visitor or a local looking for something different, let Maine Off the Beaten Path show you the Pine Tree State you never knew existed. Visit a historic three-story jail maid from granite slabs; view thousands of North Woods artifacts and a reconstructed logger's cabin at the Lumbermen's Museum; or seek out the colorful planets of the largest scale-model solar system. So if you've "been there, done that" one too many times, get off the main road and venture Off the Beaten Path.
