What is the history behind Northern Lights Maine's name?

In 1974, founder Tom Upham was driving home from New York when he witnessed the Northern Lights glowing across the sky at Jay Hill in Maine. That moment of inspiration led him and his wife Judy to decide they would start their own business and name it Northern Lights, regardless of what they would sell. The shop has remained in operation for over 50 years since its founding.
