An Act of Admission of the State of Maine into the Union, March 3, 1820
The Act of Admission of the State of Maine into the Union, passed by the U.S. Congress on March 3, 1820, officially separated Maine from Massachusetts and established it as the 23rd state. This Act formalized Maine's transition from a district of Massachusetts to a sovereign state within the United States. The Act of Admission was passed as part of the Missouri Compromise, which also admitted Missouri as a slave state.



WPA Cemetery Plans
During the Great Depression, the Work Projects Administration (WPA) put millions of Americans to work on public works projects that ranged from building trails in National Parks to creating over 500 surveys of Maine cemeteries. These cemetery plans, transferred from the Office of the Adjutant General and now part of the holdings of the Maine State Archives, help us to identify war veterans’ final resting places.
