Strewn along the banks of the Kennebec River in Central Maine, Waterville is a quaint small town brimming with historic charm and modern delights. Downtown Waterville is vibrant with an array of eclectic shops and diverse eateries in well-preserved historic buildings. The town’s popular farmers’ market, boasting local produce and handcrafted artisan goods, is also held downtown throughout the year.
Waterville is home to two institutions of higher education—Colby College and Thomas College. As a result, the town has a thriving cultural scene, with mainstays such as the Colby College Museum of Art, Waterville Opera House, Redington Museum, and Railroad Square Cinema.
Waterville’s close-knit community comes together for a variety of family-friendly events, including the Waterville Intown Arts Fest, Taste of Greater Waterville, and the Maine International Film Festival. Locals also enjoy congregating to engage in outdoor fun at Quarry Road Recreation Area and on the Kennebec River. Convenient access to I-95 connects Waterville to destinations like Portland and Boston for daytrips and weekend getaways alike.
