Cape Split, in Addison, Maine was the home and artistic inspiration for famous American Artist John Marin.
John Marin's home and studio are still there and can be visited during Addison's Meet the Artist Day each summer.
Here is one of his paintings done on 1937
Colby College, in Waterville, Maine has a wonderful collection of John's work
As it looks today....much the same as when Marin painted here.
