At America’s First Mile on Route 1 in Fort Kent, photographers capture a heritage roadside moment: the iconic “First Mile” marker, Route 1 branding, and the surrounding Maine small-town streetscape with open sky. Best in clear, low-sun conditions—golden sunrise/moody overcast brings strong contrast. Park along W Main St; free, no entry fees.
