The 2020 Maine Summer Guide

July 02, 2020

There’s no more charming a place in the world than Maine and at Leyland, we are more grateful than ever for Maine's fresh air, water vistas and endless trails.

Summer is here in Maine! And the global pandemic we've been faced with is still here. Fortunately, summer fun hasn't been canceled. Here are some ways to keep your family and loved ones safe, and still have fun during this social distancing summer.
