Maine Ghost Towns

Maine’s ghost towns are hidden in the forests and along the rocky coastline of New England’s most remote state. Former logging camps, granite quarrying communities, coastal fishing villages, and small farming settlements that could not survive the decline of their industries now sit quietly in the Maine wilderness. Many Maine ghost towns are accessible only on foot or by boat, making them among the most rewarding for explorers willing to make the effort.
