A GOOD REASON TO GO

Labor history beside a tidal river

The family homestead of Frances Perkins connects a peaceful Maine setting with the life of the first woman to serve in a presidential cabinet and her work on social and labor reform.

A moss-lined trail continues ahead through tall green pine trees.
