Augusta - Maine’s capitol city! Situated in an area with many beautiful lakes, and within an hour’s drive of major ski areas and the beautiful mid-coast of Maine, Augusta is perfect for those who enjoy any or all four-season sports and recreation. Augusta and surrounding towns have safe clean residential neighborhoods, excellent schools, and a number of cultural opportunities.

With Augusta being the capitol, you can benefit from all the services, shopping, dining, and other amenities you would expect to find in a community that serves hundreds of government employees and their families. Surrounded by many lakes, ponds, and the Kennebec River, the Capital Area is well suited for activities such as canoeing, boating, swimming, water skiing, sailing, jet skiing, ice skating and fishing. Augusta is home to three museums:

The Maine State Museum enables you to experience Maine's past. The Museum presents exhibits of Maine's natural environment, social history and manufacturing heritage.

Old Fort Western was built in 1754 by the Proprietors of the Kennebec Purchase and is now designated as a National Historic Landmark. It is New England's oldest surviving wooden fort. Located on Cony Street on the banks of the Kennebec River, the Fort complex includes the original main house (barrack and store) and reproduction blockhouses, watchboxes and palisade. Accompanied by costumes and demonstrations dating to the 18th century, the Fort portrays military, settlement, family, work and community themes.

The Children’s Discovery Museum offers a "hands-on" opportunity for youngsters through grade five to have fun while learning in an interactive environment. A host of exciting exhibits, including a diner, post office, supermarket, performing stage with video camera, resource craft table and environmental "river room," provide wonderful opportunities for creative family fun.

If you can’t get your family interested in a trip to the museum, you and your family can enjoy cultural experiences including Shakespearean plays performed at the Theater at Monmouth throughout the summer, concerts performed by the Kennebec Performing Arts, plus year-round performances at the Waterville Opera House and Johnson Hall.

As you consider moving to Central Maine, you will want to know that here; your children will receive the best education possible. The schools consistently rate high in academic excellence, extra-curricular activities and athletics. You can choose among four elementary schools, two parochial schools, one middle school, and one high school. Some students may choose to attend the Capital Area Technical Center in conjunction with their regular schooling.

For high school graduates that want to stay near home, there are four colleges within a 30 minute drive of Augusta: University of Maine at Augusta, a public state college; Colby College, a well-respected private liberal arts college; Thomas College, a private business college; and Kennebec Valley Community College, a comprehensive, public 2-year institution that provides a quality education. Maine is recognized as one of the best and safest places in the US to raise a family, partly because of the first-rate education available here.

In the Augusta area, you will enjoy a range of residential choices. You can live right in the city, or in one of several suburban areas, or you can enjoy Maine’s openness by acquiring some acreage in any of the quiet communities surrounding the city where affordable real estate is plentiful, and waterfront living is an option on one of the area’s lakes, rivers or streams. Great schools, affordable real estate and excellent recreational opportunities make this a desirable community in which to live and work! If you are looking for an opportunity that will offer you a rewarding career and a very high quality of life for your family, this may be the spot for you!
