Saint Croix Island International Historic Site in Calais, ME commemorates the harsh winter of 1604-1605 when Pierre Dugua's French expedition faced extreme conditions, resulting in the loss of 35 men out of 79. Despite the challenges, the expedition marked the beginning of a permanent European presence in Northern North America.

Visitors can explore the events of the short-lived settlement on Saint Croix Island, learn about the historical significance of the French presence in North America, and engage in educational activities and resources offered at the site.
