 Rockland
has been named as one of “The 100 Best Small Towns in America” by
Norman Crampton. Now there are espresso bars, chic clothing stores
and funky, fabulous restaurants. The city has become an art mecca.
The Farnsworth Museum houses an extensive collection of the works
by the famous Wyeth family (N.C., Andrew and Jamie), and the
new facility is expected to draw 250,000 visitors a year.
Landing port to ferries to and from North Haven and Vinalhaven
Islands and surrounded by bays, peninsulas, rivers, lakes, and
inlets. Rockport, besides being a popular crossroads, exhibits
also tremendous natural beauty. The surrounding area also claims
14 of the state's 63 lighthouses.
