Lesson plans accompany the StoryMaps. The searchable cemetery maps are also included to help provide more information about the people and history of the area.\u00a0 All the work done to create the StoryMaps and the searchable cemetery maps was made possible by the aforementioned grants.\r\n\r\nAs time progresses, more StoryMaps and searchable cemetery maps will be added to the website. The goal is to include even more information about Central Aroostook County and eventually, Southern Aroostook County. The rich history of these regions needs more research and documentation. The information on this website is meant to provide more insight into the history and culture of Central and Southern Aroostook County. In addition, this website is meant to compliment the work of Dr. Dena Winslow, an independent academic historian who also researches and writes about the history of Aroostook County. Her work can be found on her website, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aroostookhistory.me\/\">Aroostook History<\/a>.\r\n\r\nNorthern Aroostook County or the St. John Valley has had much research done on it by scholars, the National Park Service and local historians. To obtain materials for the St. John Valley, start by accessing the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.umfk.edu\/archives\/\">Acadian Archives<\/a> website, which is part of the University of Maine at Fort Kent.
