STORIES FROM LIFE ON THE FARM
IN MAINE'S HISTORIC SWEDISH COLONY
In 1870 Swedish settlers flocked to far northern Maine to farm--creating a unique colony where the Swedish language is still spoken in the 21st century. But the few who still speak Swedish is dwindling, and the language will die out with the thirty or so older resident who continue to speak it. "Old Maine Swedish Farms" captures their stories of growingup on the farm in Maine's historic Swedish Colony while they survive to tell their tales. This film captures a unique and fascinating chapter of Maine history.
