New Episode: Celtic Maine
Initial Broadcast: Thursday, June 7 at 8:30 pm
Episode #1912
This episode of Made in Maine explores the state’s Celtic heritage and the businesses and groups keeping Celtic culture thriving in Maine. We’ll learn about Maine’s connection to Ireland with a visit to the Irish Heritage Center in Portland, as well as Maine’s connection to Scotland with a visit to Maine’s Saint Andrew’s Society. Irish and Scottish goods sit side by side on the shelves of the Shamrock, Thistle & Rose of Belfast – that’s Belfast, Maine, by the way – and the show wraps up with a cup of tea and a bit o’ the blarney with the Gilmore family, who run the Claddagh Motel in Rockland.
