Hype for the Future 64C: Southern Knox County, Maine

Introduction

To the south of the City of Rockland, the Penobscot Bay gives way to the more open Atlantic Ocean in the relatively more southerly immediate vicinity. With the transition from Rockland to the Atlantic Ocean comes additional islands, particularly the aforementioned island locations, as well as the Saint George Peninsula to the west of the Penobscot Bay.

Saint George Peninsula

In the southern fringe of the City of Rockland are the Sail Power and Steam Museum and Gallery Fukurou, and further south are the numerous amenities associated with the Saint George Peninsula. Owls Head, home to the village of Ash Point, is also home to the Knox County Regional Airport as well as the Owls Head Transportation Museum. Within the Spruce Head area of Saint George is the Craignair Inn by the Sea, while further south on the peninsula are the East Wind Inn on the Water, the Granite Gallery, and the Marshall Point Lighthouse and Museum.

West of the Saint George Peninsula

The Towns of Cushing and Friendship are located within Knox County, Maine, though they are each west of the Saint George Peninsula proper. The Town of Cushing is home to the Olson House and the Langlais Art Preserve, while the Town of Friendship is home to the Friendship Museum. The Town of Thomaston is home to the Thomaston Historical Society and the Montpelier facility of the Knox Museum, while the Town of South Thomaston is located at the northwestern edge of the Saint George Peninsula and is home to the Finnish Heritage House.

The State of Delaware: Introduction

Delaware is a Mid-Atlantic to Southern border state in the United States of America, on the East Coast facing the Atlantic Ocean with the second-smallest land area of states in the nation. Only Rhode Island is smaller by area, but like in Rhode Island, the Atlantic coastline is very important to life in the State. The major bay of the State is the Delaware Bay, while the state capital city is the City of Dover. The State contains exactly three (3) counties, from north to south New Castle, Kent, and Sussex. The respective county seats are Wilmington, Dover, and Georgetown, and only Sussex County actually touches the open Atlantic Ocean and contains the beaches and resort villages for the entire State, as well as early Dutch history at the old Zwaanendael Colony at present-day Lewes.
