The Desert of Maine

The Desert of Maine is a tourist attraction near Freeport, Maine. 
It is an area of exposed glacial silt, which is similar to sand. Poor farming practices caused soil erosion, exposing the silt and making the land unfarmable. Henry Goldrup bought the land and turned it into a tourist attraction in 1925.
