Moosehead Lake Maine 1827 Crewneck Sweatshirt

Moosehead Lake is the largest lake in Maine, and as such, it was one of the most frequented areas by sportsmen in the nineteenth century. The earliest written description of Moosehead Lake comes from British Col. Montressor, who canoed down the Moose River, down the lake and then down the Kennebec River in 1767. Located at the foot of the lake, the town of Greenville was settled in 1827, and with the addition of hotels, it became the starting point for supplies for lumbermen, tourists, and sportsmen, and this great lake remains a popular destination to this day.
