Calais, ME

united states

Calais sits on Maine's Canadian border where US Route 1 ends at the international crossing to New Brunswick. The town of 3,100 connects to the Maine coast via Route 1 south to Machias, or to Bangor and I-95 via the inland Route 9 corridor. The distinctive 1893 red brick Calais Free Library downtown preserves the area's lumber industry heritage.
