• Spend the night in Skowhegan.hotel room image by Albert Lozano from Fotolia.com
  
  Skowhegan, Maine, is a town of legendary firsts. It is the hometown of Margaret Chase Smith, the first woman to serve on the U.S. Senate, and its downtown is home to a 62-foot-tall Indian, the largest sculpture of its kind in the world. Explore its shops and restaurants, try whitewater rafting on the Kennebec River and then retire for the night at one of its comfortable motels.
