MAINE SUNDAY TELEGRAM • January 28, 2024
Maine is one of 13 states where the April 8 total solar eclipse will be visible. Since 1850, Maine has fallen in the direct path of totality only once, in 1963. The path of totality stretches from Dover-Foxcroft up to Caribou, and from Jackman across to Houlton. The town of Jackman is planning to let the eclipse pass with little fanfare. Houlton, however, is going all out throwing a three-day festival the weekend leading up to the big day.
