Small-town charm steeped in rich history and outdoor recreation

Riverside Scenic Lush Quaint Historic Active Affordable

Cut by the Kennebec River, Skowhegan is a scenic small town draped in lush natural beauty and historic character. Skowhegan is home to a close-knit community, brought together for a bevy of annual events like the Maple Festival, River Fest, Craft Brew Festival, Madison Anson Days, and the Skowhegan State Fair, which is the oldest state fair in the United States.

Skowhegan’s small-town charm is evident throughout the community, but especially in the alluring and remarkably walkable downtown area, which is a national Main Street designated district brimming with shops, cafes, and restaurants in historic storefronts. Residents enjoy vintage relics like the Skowhegan Drive-In Theater and Spotlight Cinemas at the Strand, in addition to extensive exhibits at the Skowhegan History House Museum and Research Center.

Opportunities for outdoor recreation abound in Skowhegan, with access to beautiful venues like Coburn Park, Debe Park River Walk, Lake George Regional Park, and more. Convenience to U.S. 2 and U.S. 201 makes getting around from Skowhegan simple.
