The Bahre collection of over 50 cars, along with carriages and other memorabilia,
occupies 3 barns at the birthplace of Hannibal Hamlin, Lincoln's first vice president.

The exhibit is open to the public once a year on Founder's Day

This 1914 Stutz Bearcat is typical of the rare and beautiful cars in the collection

Notice the unusual windshield

                                           Even more rare is this 1914 Baker

1895 Howe Hand Engine

1910 Thomas Flyer, popular in its day, but few alive today ever heard of it     

Lots of brass on the Thomas Flyer
and other cars of this era

                                                  1961 Ewing Indy Roadster, built in late 1959

Raced at the Indianapolis 500 in '60, '61, '62 and 63

1931 Mercedes-Benz SSK                                            

The SSK's well-worn but authentic interior

Let's turn this into a test. See how many of the following cars you can identify without my help.

A huge automobile — the windshield and rear seatback are more than 6 feet high

  If this isn't plush enough for you, you'd better stay home in your feather bed

I'll give you a hint — it was made in France

A bigger hint — surely you know what PL stands for.  If not,              
just click on either headlight and the car's identity will pop up.            

This 1885 Skeleton Boot Victoria appeared in one of the great movies of all time.
Click the right front wheel for the name of the movie and the stars.

This is a tough one — I'll forgive you if you click anywhere on the car for its identity

This one's American — I'll be disappointed in you
if you have to click on the car to reveal its identity

Another American, but with a German body — click the car if you give up    

You know what this is, don't you? Yeah, right! I can see
your mouse pointer headed for the car right now.

OK, let's take a break from testing and stroll around Paris Hill Village

           Just an interesting house I thought would make a pretty picture

The former jail, now the Hamlin Library

If you broke the law in Paris, you might       
find yourself looking out this window          

Next door to Paris is Norway, down the road a piece is Poland            

Straddling the border of the two central Maine communities
