This building is the Maine State Building. It was built as part of the Maine state pavilion for the Columbian Exposition at the Chicago World's Fair in 1893. When the fair was over It was purchased for $30,000, disassembled, and brought by rail to Danville Junction, from there its parts were transported by horse and wagons to this spot. It was then reassembled. It is open to the public from 9am to 4 pm tues thru sat.
