| 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 museum draws over 250,000 visitors per year. Rockland
is also the home of the largest passenger-carrying windjammer
fleet in the United States.
Landing port to ferries to and from
North Haven and Vinalhaven Islands and surrounded by bays,
peninsulas, rivers, lakes, and inlets. Rockland, besides being
a popular crossroads, exhibits also tremendous natural beauty.
The surrounding area also claims 14 of the state's 68 lighthouses.
