Machias is in the heart of Downeast Maine's blueberry growing country, where 95 percent of the world's blueberry crop is grown. A Wild Blueberry Festival celebrates the tiny fruit the third weekend in August. The pirates who once roamed these parts are remembered at the Burnham Tavern Museum. The historic structure dates from 1770 and the site where Colonists planned the first naval engagement of the Revolutionary War. The annual Margaretta Day Festival celebrates that battle in June. You can also visit the site of Fort O'Brien which saw action during the Revolution and was later destroyed by the British during the War of 1812. The Thomas Ruggles House (1818) features extraordinary hand-carved woodwork and original furnishings and decorations. Machias is home of the Hannah Weston Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution.
