From Wikipedia:
Houlton is a town in Aroostook County, Maine, on the Canada-United States border. As of the 2020 census, the town's population was 6,055.[2] It is perhaps best known for being at the northern terminus of Interstate 95 and as the birthplace of Samantha Smith, a goodwill ambassador as a child during the Cold War. The town hosts the annual Houlton Agricultural Fair.
Houlton is the county seat of Aroostook County, and as such its nickname is the "Shire Town". The Houlton High School sports teams are named "The Shiretowners". The Meduxnekeag River flows through the heart of the town, and the border with the Canadian province of New Brunswick is 3 mi (4.8 km) east of the town's center. Houlton was the home of Ricker College, which closed in 1978.
The primary settlement and center of the town is designated as a CDP with the same name. The headquarters of the federally recognized Houlton Band of Maliseet Indians is based here.

I left Houlton when I was 29. I moved to Dallas, Texas. It was a huge move. I even loved driving on 6-7 lane highways. I met my husband in TX and in 2015, we moved to Raleigh, NC. I lived on Willard St next to the high school. I love coming home to visit. There’s nothing like flying into Bangor and driving that two hours (1.4 hrs is probably more like it)…. Thankyou so much for this video. If you do another video, maybe next time you can go onto Military and go to onto Willard and go by the HS and swing by the dairy bar lol…

A nice drive through quaint Houlton Maine. I'd love to see this town is spring or summer.

[@garrett4299]

Houlton is at its peak during the fall 👌🏼

[@kingsford3657]

I liked the curvy bits of Green St. I also looked up the house that was for sale on the first corner (I’m not the only one who does that, right?😃); nice house.

Very quaint New England town

[@user-dg7gn4qk1y]

Flushing NY once looked like that, perhaps more picturesque, now a 100% cement jungle

[@SalahX9XGTA]

It looks like such a quiet place! Hopefully one day I can visit it as a foreigner

[@katrinawebb7538]

This must of been filmed in early December because houlton is covered in snow now! I live outside of Houlton and the roads are definitely not bare up here right now.

[@cosmichappening1712]

Strange to see sidewalks on one side of the street and not on the other. Do people not walk on the other side of the street as well? Thanks for the tour...

[@ES-1-88]

You turned on to Franklin, not Pearce; at about 4:30 into the drive.

[@cindymoore8925]

Nice ride in Houlton Maine. Can you take a video of Oakfield. We lived on Timoney lake right next to the boat ramp on the right. I know it is a small town but very nice to live in, great people. We had snowmobiles trails and ATV trails near us and use them for 10 years of our retirement. Bests part of our life. Thanks 0:15

[@andremelvin206]

If you’re willing, can you take a drive down south street towards the elementary school. I used to live on that road and I miss my home

[@markcripps5448]

Houlton was my mother’s home. It looks so different, but not really

[@TTK_Nitr0]

I live down town

Houlton ME Where interstate 95 ends

[@edwardrasmussen3465]

Also where US 2 (eastern) ends. However, there is still plenty of US 1 left, going north through the rest of "The County," which Aroostook County, the second largest county east of the Mississippi River, is called.

That's Maine for you.

I love boring,no trouble.

[@jetsons101]

I went to Schenck High School in East Millinocket years back. Been to Holton a few times. Moved to CA, boy has it turned into a hell hole over the last ten years, in the past few years its gotten really bad..... Love Maine

[@greasesicle]

ME is a dump, been all over from Lubec to Rumford and Fort Kent. ME is loaded with pill junkies, drunks and video game addicts. They lie and say they go on hikes every day. CA kicks ass over any state and its economy dominates the US. NY has better lakes and mountains than ME. The food is slop in ME.

Why? what happened ?

If it was some town in upstate NY, I would believe it too!

[@jeannedouglas9912]

Looks kinda sad or dreary. :(

[@cubanipad]

Its the weather sadly, when its sunny it looks like a cool, quaint town.

[@hdvictoryford5329]

Been to Houlton a dozen or more times. Stay off the interstate when you drive there you will love the trip. The town, small northern Maine town. You can still buy a home there for under 100K.

[@Gemma_626]

This video has the most cars I've ever seen in a Houlton drive video. And some traffic lights!😊

[@alexanders88]

My late father was born & and raised with 7 brothers and sisters in Houlton. The last time was in Houlton was in '82. I remember some of it and it's grow & changed since then. Thank you for the video tour.
