A visit from the President of the United States always brings with
it excitement. In Maine, perhaps part of that excitement stems from
the fact that presidents rarely visit the state-only 18 of the 45
presidents have visited Maine in the nation's 244-year history.
Many of these visits came at significant points in a presidency;
and some visits had controversy, conflict, and ironic twists. For
example: * During George Washington's visit, Maine was not even
Maine, it was part of Massachusetts. * President Ulysses S. Grant
was the hero of the recently ended Civil War. * President Richard
Nixon was met with protests that saw Mainer battle Mainer. *
President Carter spent the night of his visit with a common,
ordinary Maine family, in their modest home. * President Trump's
visit came in the middle of a global pandemic. Each of Maine's
presidential visits left us with great stories, and a detailed view
of Maine's lively history.
