Map and directions

Buchanan Alumni House — home to UMaine’s Alumni Association and University of Maine Foundation — is the perfect place for the Traditions Garden, a space honoring UMaine traditions. Among the shrubs, flowers, flagstones and stone benches are signs — in UMaine blue — that highlight key traditions, such as Maine Day, the Stein Song and Maine Hello. The garden is on your right as you enter the building’s north side from the parking lot between Lengyel Hall and Buchanan Alumni House. Nearby, though not part of the garden, is the large granite sculpture A New Dawn, located near Munson Road and sponsored by the University of Maine Foundation.
