Attractions & Highlights of the Region:
* The Maine State Museum in Augusta
houses the "story" of Maine as told by
it's historic artifacts and art. The museum, a cache of Native American artwork and great repository of Maine's
industrial past also houses a working
three-story watermill transported to
and rebuilt inside the museum.
* With a single drop of nearly 100 feet
(one of Maine's largest) Moxie Falls in
The Forks is a must visit Kennebec Valley attraction. The easy round-trip hike
to the falls is just over a mile on a wide
and well-kept trail located two miles
east of US 201 in The Forks.
* Catch a matinee at Lakewood Theatre, America's longest running "sum-
merstock" program in Madison since
1901. Each summer comes with a new
slate of performances including special
performances for children. The region
is also home to Maine's Official Shakespeare Theater at the Theater at Monmouth.
* Old Fort Western in Augusta is New
England's oldest surviving wooden fort
and block house. Interpretive educators
tell the story of this 18th century military, settlement, trade and family life in
the original main house built in 1754.
* As you pass through Skowhegan, stop
in and check out the towns collection of
artist Bernhard Langlais' work including
the artist's late 1960's gift to the town a
62-foot tall sculpture of a native American atop a 20-foot concrete base. Recently restored, the Skowhegan Indian
is the world's tallest, and a celebration
of the important contributions of native
American culture in the region given by
the artist on the 150th Anniversary of
Maine's statehood.
