Maine. The Wells Reserve protects 2,250 acres of salt marsh, freshwater wetland, beach, dune, forest, and field. Formerly, Wabanaki dwelled here, later, farmed by white settlers. In the early 1900s, Laudholm Farms was the largest and most progressive saltwater farm in York County. Its milk, cream, butter, eggs, broilers, and roasting chickens were sold to locals and shipped weekly to Boston. Today,the historic buildings have been renovated and restored as headquarters for education, conservation, and research.
