Description
This publication was likely printed and distributed in 1934 by the Maine Development Commission. Written in a time when the nation was still feeling the effects of the Great Depression, the publication suggested the repurposing of farms for use as summer homes and promoted the idea of an early back to the land movement for those seeking a simpler way of life. Several pages are devoted to providing real estate listings for Maine farms. Digitized by Nicholas Stiles in March 2014 for Maine State Library StateDocs collection.
