The Federal, home to 555 North, is a nineteenth-century sea captain’s home that takes its name from the building’s classic Federal style. Captain Daniel Stone began building the house around 1806 and lived in it until his death in 1825. The history of the property was part of what attracted Steve Corry to the project, as his Portland restaurant also had a storied history: the three-story building was once the home of the Machigonne Fire House, which had the illustrious honor of debuting Portland’s first steam-powered fire engine.

In this installment of WeGo, our conservation-minded host Kat Englishman first heads to Rines Forest, where she teams up with a couple biologists to study bugs and determine the pollution levels of a stream, then it’s over to the beach to build piping plover exclosures and observe the majestic waterfowl of Maine’s coastline. All this and more on episode 8 of WeGo! Thank you to our sponsors, Visit Maine and Baxter Brewing, for their generous support.
Last month we gathered our 2021 Mainers of the Year to celebrate the work they've done and continue to do for the state. We sat down with Briana Warner, CEO of Atlantic Sea Farms; Thomas Judge, executive director of LifeFlight of Maine; Governor Janet Mills; artist and muralist Ryan Adams; and Dr. Steven Diaz, chief medical officer of MaineGeneral Health to ask which Mainers of the Year from their class inspire them. Here's what they said.
WeGo Episode 7: Hiking on the Appalachian Trail
In this installment of WeGo, our intrepid hosts set out on a portion of the Appalachian Trail and meet some thru-hikers to learn what it takes to cover the 2,190 miles of eastern wilderness. During their trip, Kat and Carolyn set up camp at the base of Mount Bigelow, take in the views at the top, and along the way Carolyn discovers a mental fortitude she didn’t know she possessed.
