E216. Province of Maine Apr 27, 2026

Show notes

The exact site of the Popham Colony was lost until 1888 when a plan for the site was found in the General Archives in Spain. This plan exactly matches the location at Sabino Head near Maine's Popham Beach State Park. Later archaeology in 1994 confirmed the location and the accuracy of the plan. The Popham Colony Site is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Special guest Eric Yanis of The Other States of America podcast concludes his telling of this incredible story.
