On my way up to serve on train crew for the Grand Reunion yesterday (Sunday), I stopped at the Maine Visitor Information Center on the turnpike in Kittery in the wee hours and found the new Maine 2020 visitor's guide.

As you see from the cover, the annual features "97 Reasons to Love One of the Greatest Places on Earth."
We're one of the 97 places listed. We're No. 84 on page 134—first in the "Maine's Midcoast & Islands" section.
Don't know if any of our volunteers played a role in this, but it's nice to see us highlighted this Maine bicentennial year. Hope it leads to a spike in visitors.
The full guide can be viewed at https://www.mainetravelguidebook.com/

In the electronic copy that I viewed, the WW&F mention is on page 136 (although that particular page does not display a number). We are on the page between the numbered pages 134 and 138.
Here is a clip:

Further along, page 152 has what appears to be an ad sponsored by the Wiscasset Chamber of Commerce, and the WW&F is listed there also ....

The above is just a static screenshot, but on the 'live' page the WW&F listing shown above has a "clickable" link to the WW&F website.
On page 160, we are also listed under "ARTS AND CULTURE" !?!? ;D

(This image is a 'thumbnail' so click the image to see larger.)
In that listing also, on the 'live' page the WW&F website URL is 'clickable'.
And on page 170 we are listed 'first' 8) under Museums:

And again, the WW&F website URL is clickable.
