  • 1. Whaleback Shell Midden State Historic Site Damariscotta
    Whaleback Shell Midden is a shell midden, or dump, consisting primarily of oyster shells located on the east side of the Damariscotta River in Maine, United States. It is preserved as a Maine state historic site and was included as part of the Damariscotta Oyster Shell Heaps listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1969.

  • 2. Androscoggin Brunswick-Topsham Riverwalk Topsham
    The Androscoggin River is a river in the U.S. states of Maine and New Hampshire, in northern New England. It is 178 miles long and joins the Kennebec River at Merrymeeting Bay in Maine before its water empties into the Gulf of Maine on the Atlantic Ocean. Its drainage basin is 3,530 square miles in area. The name Androscoggin comes from the Eastern Abenaki term /aləssíkɑntəkw/ or /alsíkɑntəkw/, meaning river of cliff rock shelters ; or perhaps from Penobscot /aləsstkɑtəkʷ/, meaning river of rock shelters. The Anglicization of the Abenaki term is likely an analogical contamination with the colonial governor Edmund Andros.
