To the Reader:
Välkommen! Welcome to the Swedish Colony in Northern Maine.
This web version of the printed booklet is intended to provide you with
both an historical perspective on the Colony area, and a map-oriented tourguide
to historical and current points of interest. After a brief introduction
as to how the Colony came to be, the contents are organized by townships
involved: New Sweden, Woodland and Perham, Connor, Lyndon (now Caribou),
Westmanland, Stockholm, and Madawaska Lake. For each, there is an early
history section followed by what exists today. Thank you for your interest.
