Lesson Plan Slideshow - Pine Tree State
Created by Brittany Cook, MHS Bicentennial Fellow

The pine tree and moose, Maine's State Tree and State Animal, are represented in the Maine State Seal. This seal was made for the Third Maine Regiment (armed forces) around 1828, not long after Maine became a state.
