Welcome to Maine, 2025 babies

Welcome to the way life should be. You are now Mainers.

Being a Mainer means embodying a deep sense of independence, self-reliance, and community. It’s about weathering the never-ending winters, and finding joy in the simple pleasures of life — from the quiet beauty of pine forests to the endless stretches of coastline.

Mainers are known for their resourcefulness and kindness.

There’s a strong sense of solidarity, with neighbors helping neighbors and pride in local traditions. To be a Mainer is to embrace both the challenges and the rewards of living in Maine.

We can't wait to see what you do next.
