My Maine Stories

Everyone has a story... What's yours?

Tell My Story

Everybody has a story. What's YOUR Maine story?

Story topics might include your experiences in Maine, memories of your family, ancestors, or town; your work life, or impacts of a historical event in Maine.

You can choose to type in your story and add up to three photos, or add a video or audio clip of your story. Stories come alive between people—a listener and a talker, a writer and a reader. If you are recording your story, it might be helpful to tell the story to an encouraging listener, like a family member or friend, and consider rehearsing it at least once prior to recording.

Make sure to have your story prepared and photographs scanned or online for upload, since there is no opportunity to save your work on this form prior to submission.

Once you submit your story, we'll work on getting it posted online.
