Maine Memory Network

    While on Maine Memory Network I explore my own town of Waterboro.  It was really fascinating to see town parades in 1900, a railroad station from before 1908, and a picture of the first collection of jurors.  As a History major, I love looking through all this stuff and especially since its about my town.  I love seeing the methods of operating daily life way back when.
    I would use Maine Memory Network in my class to help give visual representations of the past.  Also, there are valuable example of primary sources for students to see.  When I was on Maine Memory Network I read a lesson plan on the burning of Falmouth.  Not a lot of people new that the British actually opened fire on Falmouth (modern day Portland) and actually burned it down because of the capture of a British officer.
