Attractions and Things to Do in MIDCOAST Maine
“Wiscasset has retained so much of the charm that represents Maine and New England — the old lovely churches, the beautiful old homes. There are wonderful shops and antiques, and when you walk down the hill toward the center of town, you see the Sheepscot River. In Wiscasset, there is a real feeling of village life.” -Downeast Magazine
