The Etz Chaim Synagogue building has been restored to its past simple elegance.  Now a museum of Maine Jewish history, art and culture.  Maine was nicknamed "Jerusalem of the North" due to the large population of Jewish people living here in the early twentieth century.  Today, this is the only remaining example, in Maine, of an immigrant era European-style synagogue still in operation.  Learn more about the Museum and Etz Chaim Synagogue on their website: Tree of Life Museum
