Fly the Annin Maine State Flag and be proud of your home state. Although a second Maine State Flag was adopted in 1901, this flag is rarely seen. This flag shows a pine tree in the center of a buff background, with the North Star in blue within the canton. The first, and almost exclusively still-used flag, features the state seal of 1820. The design shows the White Pine state tree with an indigenous mouse beneath it on a shield. On either side of the shield are a farmer and a sailor, depicting Maine's agricultural and maritime bases. The North Star indicates that Maine was the northernmost state when it joined the Union. The state motto, Dirigo, meaning, I direct, is above the shield, and the state name is below. US state flags measuring 3 ft. x 5 ft. are great for home or professional areas. Our state flags feature time-tested quality to handle the elements.
