Last Saturday I gave the Coastal Maine Tour to a friend from Connecticut. We saw three lighthouses, made the pilgrimage to LL Bean, and visited the Olsen House, (from Andrew Wyeths painting Christina's World) in Cushing. On Saturday it was open, so we had a tour of the house.. a little spooky. As an aside, the docent told us that Andrew Wyeth was buried next door. This is a small cemetary that contains the graves of Christina and her brother as well as all her relatives that lived at one time in the Olsen House. And Andy's grave is the very first one. The old fashioned gravestone is plain black granite and very simply inscribed..very fitting for Andrew Wyeth.
