Means massacre

Mann Cemetery is an historic cemetery located in Freeport, Maine, United States. It was established around 1750 and was closed to burials in 1922.There are around 160 burials, most in unmarked graves. Dozens of blue plastic markers denote what are believed to be burials. The Mann family plot is surrounded by barbed wire, outside of which members of at least ten other families are buried.A dispute arose in 2016 with L.L.Bean, who purchased property, on the adjacent Marietta Lane, for their paddling center from a Mann family relative thirteen years earlier. The construction meant the "centuries-old" tote road that was used to access the cemetery had to be dug up to install drainage. While Mann Cemetery Association, which was established in 2011, had a secondary access road, it was through a private gated road that was only opened to the public in late 2018. Residents and descendants of those interred in the cemetery demanded that L.L. Bean rebuild the track to re-establish public access to the cemetery.

Bustins Island is an island in inner Casco Bay, Maine, United States. It is part of the town of Freeport. Although physically located within Freeport, the Bustins Island Village Corporation is a self-governing entity. The island has approximately 117 summer cottages, with the earliest dating to the 18th century. The island's main road is Bustins Island Road, which loops around the island for about 1.5 miles (2.4 km). It is bisected by offshoot roads. Every island building stands beside one of the roads, allowing for easy access for trash removal.The island operates its own ferry, the Lilly B, which debarks from the South Freeport town wharf. Typically, the ferry operates from Memorial Day weekend through Columbus Day weekend. The ferry arrives at public dock at the southwestern tip of the island, but there is also a steamer dock on the island's western side. A public landing ramp is located at the northern end of the island.The island's interior is undeveloped because it is part of a resource protection area, which comprises parcels of land that are now protected against development. It, as with the rest of the island, is under constant threat of fire. There is no pressured water on the island, and since all of the cottages are over one hundred years old, they can be easily set alight accidentally. Six houses have burned to the ground over the years, the last in 2007. Due to this risk, no open fires or fire pits are permitted.The island is named for John Bustion, while its ferry, the Lilly B, is named for Lilly May Brewer (1906–1977), who, along with her husband Ralph (1900–1968), was the caretaker of Bustins during the 1950s and 1960s.

Maquoit Bay is a bay in Cumberland County, Maine, in the northern part of Casco Bay. It is located between South Freeport and Mere Point, Brunswick, and is a Focus Area of Statewide Ecological Significance and one of the state's Important Bird Areas.The mouth of Maquoit Bay faces southwest, which results in its becoming a receptacle for nutrients flowing in from Casco Bay. The mixing of these nutrients with the organic material of the bay's salt marshes, a process assisted by the tides and the confluences of surrounding watercourses, creates a rich environment for marine life. On top of the large amounts of shellfish, the bay is also home to thousands of waterfowl, wading birds and shorebirds all year round. Shorebirds, in particular, undertake complete annual migration round trips of up to 20,000 miles, taking them to nesting areas in the Arctic and winter homes in South America, and many hundreds of them stop in Maquoit Bay to rest for the next leg of their journey.
