Kennebec Valley

The Kennebec Valley follows Maine's storied river through the state capital and beyond — past Augusta, Waterville, Hallowell, and Skowhegan. The region's independent businesses reflect the steady character of central Maine: working farms, family-run shops, artisans rooted in place, and main-street retailers that have anchored these river towns for generations.
