Henry David Thoreau is well known for his musings while living at Walden Pond in Concord, Massachusetts , but it was his travels to the North Maine Woods that truly shaped his perspective on the natural world. The influence of Maine’s landscape and Penobscot Guides on Thoreau are still honored to this day by the community surrounding a festival in Greenville, Maine—the Thoreau-Wabanaki Trail Festival.
