From the Governor's Office today,
AUGUSTA – On the 149th anniversary of the first shot of the American Civil War, Governor John E. Baldacci announced a new State Web site that provides a wealth of information on Maine’s role in the Civil War. Information will continue to be added, with the first collection - a list of Maine’s Civil War Monuments - available today at http://www.maine.gov/civilwar/sentinels.html

There is not much on the new web site at the moment but we can be hopeful.

The Sentinels page has a link to http://www.maine.gov/civilwar/monuments.html with a list of towns and monuments in those towns. I'd love to see a database like this to all the monuments in the state and not just the Civil War monuments. But it's a nice list to be able to look over.
