Old Fashioned Candlepin Bowling in York Beach Maine 

Old Fashioned Candlepin Bowling in York Beach Maine. Very similar to big pin bowling, but the ball is smaller (like a canon ball really - heck, maybe they once used to be!) and the pins much thiner. You also get three throws, instead of just two. They say this is a New England original.

"Candlepin bowling was developed in 1880 in Worcester, Massachusetts by Justin White, a local bowling center owner, some years before both the standardization of the ten-pin sport in 1895 and the invention of duckpin bowling, said by some sources to have been invented the same year. Today the game is enjoyed in many diverse places such as California and Germany in addition to New England.[3] "
