Maine is about to celebrate the 200th anniversary of its statehood, and Maine Public
has teamed up with Down East magazine to tell the stories of people who have been alive for at least half of that time. We traveled from York to Lewiston-Auburn, Presque Isle and Fort Kent to chronicle the experiences of Mainers who grew up on farms, went to war in Europe, returned to raise families and now reflect back on a hundred years of life.
