Here is extraordinary beauty on a human scale. Mountains yes, but you can hike or ski them in a day. Ocean sailing yes, but protected by harbors and Penobscot Bay. Lakes you can swim across, or bicycle around.

The community too, is on a human scale. Not so small you feel limited; not so large you feel lost.

We have culture as well as beauty, and so boast resources quite out of scale with our size. A chamber music series that draws Boston and New York talent. Nationally known conferences on foreign affairs, and technology. A museum making its name on its Wyeth collection. Schools for languages, boat building, furniture making, photography. One of the country's top golf courses.

Look deeper and you will see resources of spirit — a community dedicated to solving its problems in a healthy way, a community moved by suffering and moving to alleviate it, a community willing to go the extra mile in educating its children.

We are proud to call this place our home,
and we've chosen some links we hope will be useful as you consider making it your home too.
