Washington County
Washington County
Washington County may be the first place in the nation to be lit by dawn’s early light, but in many ways it ranks last in economic prosperity. The friendly, hardworking people here still wrest their living from the fields, forests and sea. Few tourists venture this far east, making it an ideal place to explore. There are plenty of preserves, small parks and wildlife refuges, and no shortage of spectacular scenery.
Lofty radio antenna towers in Cutler form the nucleus of the US Navy’s communications system staying in contact with nuclear submarines.
Machias, which is an Indian name meaning “bad little falls” is a former sawmill center wedged now between the sea and the flat open barrens of the blueberry barrens to the north.
