We were out of a family camping trip and decided to make the best of the rainy day and go for a drive to see the “World Traveler Signpost” in Lynchville, Maine.

This directional sign shows the milage to these well-known places:

  • Norway
  • Denmark
  • Paris
  • Naples
  • Sweden
  • Poland
  • Mexico
  • Peru
  • China

However, these are not the places you think they are. These are small towns located in Maine. To the average visitor though it may seem quite confusing.

Most of these town names were given in the late 1700’s and 1800’s to honor people from all places. The sign is a fun stop, there are a couple of pull off along the road. At the sign there is a good spot to get a picture.

Near the sign there are a bunch of interesting lawn sculptures. One cool one even had a sasquatch, and his house constructed. This stop was not as interesting to everyone in our group so only three of us got out to get a pic.
