Welcome!

My name is Elizabeth Wilson. I'm a deeply rooted Mainer and the human behind Maine Features. 

I love Maine. I launched Maine Features with the personal goal of visiting, photographing, and writing about EVERY town in the state. That’s nearly 500 locations. My list includes only municipalities so those unorganized territories won’t be featured, even though they contain wonderful treasures.

From the beginning I decided to share this journey publicly in case others happened to be interested. The response has been overwhelming and led to Maine Features becoming my full-time work.

In 2025 the shift was made from website content to a print magazine publication. It might be considered going against the flow, but it has been a good change and a fitting format for this visual and written content. I continue to create a free monthly newsletter and occasionally post on the Maine Features social media accounts.

This project will take years to achieve. Maine is huge. The content for the town visits is completely original and gathered the old-fashioned Maine way with lots of hard work (and many miles driven). I love the entire process. It has been a privilege to meet so many Mainers along the way; they have been kind, generous, and helpful.

Does Maine have challenges? Yes. Are they the storyline here? No.

The Maine Features focus is local history, natural beauty, and everyday people. The content is written for Mainers or those who wish they were from here.

The best way to stay updated on the latest visits and developments is to sign up for the newsletter in the blue box at the bottom of this page.

It’s a privilege to have you join me on this adventure. It is my hope that this site will help you to explore and enjoy Maine to a greater extent.
