The modern day Nevada ghost town of Metropolis was the project of Massachusetts businessman Harry L. Pierce who sought to make Metropolis the center of a new, huge farming district. In 1910, Pierce’s New York-based Pacific Reclamation Company purchased 40,000 acres below Emigrant Canyon and contracted to have a dam constructed on Bishop Creek with the hopes of using the reservoir to irrigate the town....

We all know that Maine is pretty special. Not just because it’s beautiful, but because we do things a little bit differently around here.
