2021 J Jaaayyy,, Liivveerrrmmmooorrree,e, Liivveerrrmmmooorrree F Faalllllss E-Booaaarrrdd Hi folks, Welcome to this edition of our area guide which reflects the people, communities, and businesses of our area.

This has been a year of challenges in both our personal and business environments. COVID 19 has changed what we do and how we do it. Although we have had a few businesses close, we have changed in many ways, so we continue to be viable in our community.

The JLLF Chamber is no exception. We have canceled our community events for the last year and our meetings have gone virtual. Through all this, we have continued to support our members and community with information and support on available grants, assistance programs, payroll protection information, and COVID 19 updates.

All is not doom and gloom. We urge you to use this guide to visit chamber businesses, our advertisers, and the area attractions.

Ki� Turner

We continue to be in this together. We all need each other

We are also approximately an hour away from Maine’s magnificent coastline and the best skiing on the Eastern seaboard of the United States. Not to mention, we have many lakes, rivers, streams and many smaller mountains and nature trails right in our backyard.

Jay, Livermore and Livermore Falls are nestled in the Androscoggin River Valley and are the gateway to the Western Lakes and Mountains region.

JAY

The Town of Jay, incorporated on February 26, 1795, is in southern Franklin County, situated on the Androscoggin River. The area became a hotbed of industry during the Industrial Revolution, with the river providing power for a multitude of mills and factories. While industry and conservation remain a strong part of the Jay area, the town retains a rural feel, with a population of approximately 5,000 across 48 square miles. Jay is home to Verso Paper Corp.’s Androscoggin Mill, which is the second largest producer of coated paper in the country.

Located at the gateway to major ski areas, Jay has access to abundant recreational activities. French Falls is a ball field in the summer. Jay is the home of Spruce Mountain (sprucemountain.org), a small ski area owned by the three towns. The slope has eleven trails maintained by volunteers and is reasonably priced for families. Jay offers public tennis courts, and a 14-mile Rail Trail from Jay to Farmington that supports snowmobiles, ATVs, horseback riding, biking, and hiking. The Androscoggin River provides opportunities for excellent fishing and wildlife viewing, and is a venue for many tournaments. Canoes and kayaks are now a common sight, as residents and visitors are using the river as never before.

North Jay is known historically for its white granite quarries that led to the development of one of the first industries in Jay. For decades, the North Jay White Granite Quarry provided the granite—highly prized for its fine grain, white color and strength— for numerous public buildings across the country, including Grant’s Tomb and City Hall in Portland. Today, you can visit North Jay’s White Granite Quarry Park and hike scenic trails meandering through one of our many area orchards.

LIVERMORE FALLS

LIVERMORE

The area was settled in the 1770s as Port Royal and was incorporated in 1795. It later derived its name from Deacon Elijah Livermore, one of its first settlers.

Livermore was also home to the Washburns, one of the prominent families of the 19th century. This remarkable family produced senators, congressmen, governors, entrepreneurs and naval leaders. Now their ancestral home is the Washburn Norlands Living History Center, a national historic treasure. Visitors learn about the family through the mid-1800s, and experience life in rural Maine in the 1900s, through watching reenactments, or participating in daily chores on the farm and in the mansion, and learning the ways of the one-room school house.The Museum is located at 290 Norlands Road. For more information, go to www.norlands.org or call (207) 897-4366.

Situated on one of the heaviest traveled secondary highways in the state, Livermore offers tremendous exposure for anyone looking to attract business from those traveling to tourist destinations, or commuting to and from work. The people living in Livermore are proud of its rich and diverse history of agriculture and forestry, and its small business enterprises. Small stores and a close community lend to the serenity of the rolling mountains surrounding it. The town has three boat launches that allow access to three different lakes and some of the best “hidden” fishing in Western Maine.

There are more than 2,000 people residing in Livermore over approximately 40 square miles.

Originally, Livermore Falls was part of Port Royal, which was settled in the 1770s. It was incorporated as part of Livermore in 1795. At this time, Livermore had a county line running through the middle, divided by the Androscoggin River. West of the river was part of Oxford County and east of the river was part of Kennebec County. East Livermore, formed and incorporated in 1845, was set off from Kennebec County on March 31, 1854 to create Androscoggin County. East Livermore is now known as Livermore Falls Early in the 19th century, the area was still mostly farmland, with orchards and dairies supplying the markets of Portland and Boston. As the century progressed, logging and papermaking came to the forefront as the Industrial Revolution peaked. In the late 1800s, Livermore Falls was a bustle of various mills, large and small, and could be called the epicenter of the Industrial Revolution here in western Maine. Multiple mills were built in the latter part of the 19th century, taking advantage of the Androscoggin’s tremendous waterpower. Hugh Chisholm, lifelong friend and collaborator of Thomas Alva Edison, purchased his first paper mill in Livermore Falls, then built or purchased a number of other mills that eventually became the multi-national paper maker of today, International Paper Company. Most of the mills - from paper to grist - are gone from the area, but the population that was drawn here by the need for workers for the various mills and railroads has remained. Generations of these multi-ethnic families are still residents of the area and have a strong pride in their historic role developing industries at the heart of the Androscoggin River area. Maine’s Paper and Heritage Museum (www.papermuseumofmaine.org) is located at 32 Church Street in Livermore Falls and commemorates the history of Maine’s Paper Industry. The lore of railroads, logging, lumbering and papermaking can be researched at the Paper Museum. Livermore Falls is now a quiet village with an historic downtown. It has the convenience of in town living, while retaining the tranquil-

A Place Rich with Natural Resources and Recreation Residents and visitors develop an appreciation for the area’s great natural beauty, with our all-season trails, scenic vistas and wide array of recreational activities. The Central Androscoggin River Valley offers ample hunting, fishing, boating, bicycling and snowmobiling opportunities. It’s a great area for skiing, snowshoeing and hiking, as well as fun seasonal activities like blueberry, strawberry, raspberry and apple picking.

Our area is rich with the four seasons. We can boast some of the most beautiful summers with the warm weather often starting in April and going through October. Of course the snow could hit the ground any time from October-April, which makes our area ideal for winter enthusiasts as well. When the days become warm and sunny, but nights still hold the shards of winter, we have the short season of making maple syrup, made all the sweeter by the promise of spring. The crisp fall air brings the peak of fall foliage color, usually during the beginning of October and lasts about three weeks. Our valley is lined with quiet country roads, orchard-dotted hills, low, spruce-fir clad mountains, glacial ponds and countless cool brooks.

Home to the Androscoggin River, we have an amazing resource right out our front doors.

The swift flowing, large-volume river not only provides an excellent source of power, but also recreation. During the Industrial Revolution the area became a hotbed of industry, due in large part to this wonderful resource. Like many other communities in America, industry has waned, and though that has created stress to local economies, it has opened up many recreational possibilities. Once named one of the ten most polluted rivers in the country, the Androscoggin River has made an incredible comeback and is now so beautiful, clean and serene- you’d swear you were miles away from civilization when you are on it.

Today, the river has countless boat put-ins along its entire length. Once on the endangered species list, bald eagles are now a very common sight in the area. A canoe or kayak ride on most any stretch of the river reveals a world of beauty and tranquility. You may see an eagle harassing an osprey for its catch, or a kingfisher, fishing for its brood, sitting on an exposed branch and later, skimming along the water in flight, firing off its “rat-tat-tat” call. You might see a green heron under an overhanging bank, crouched motionless on a branch, watching warily as you float by. On pond-like stretches, great blue herons sit statue-still, stalking fish fry in the shallows.

While we have all that we need right here in our communities, if you desire larger big box style stores or outlet malls, they are only a short drive away: Farmington to the north, Augusta to the east, and Lewiston-Auburn, Freeport and Portland to the south. Major cultural and sporting events are also within easy reach from our area.

The natural wonder that is the Androscoggin River is an untapped treasure waiting to be discovered.

A Place Rich with Agriculture and Artisans For generations, this valley was known as apple and dairy country and there is still ample evidence of the area’s agricultural roots. As you explore the valley, you will pass pastures with livestock, hay and corn fields, orchards, and farms specializing in crops such as potatoes, pumpkins, apples and strawberries. During the spring, you can see many maple trees tapped for the season, with buckets ready to capture the sweetness that becomes Maine maple syrup.

Roadside stands offer fresh produce, eggs, dairy products, honey, maple syrup, flowers, herbs, craft items and much more.

Check out the list of businesses that offer locally grown and pick-your-own berries, fruits and other Maine- made products on page 31.

Recreation Spots

THE ANDROSCOGGIN RIVER The Androscoggin River flows 177 miles from Umbagog Lake at the Maine-New Hampshire border to Merrymeeting Bay where it joins the Kennebec River. Dropping over 1,200 feet in elevation from its headwaters, the Androscoggin has an average descent of eight feet per mile.

For thousands of years, Native Americans made a sustainable existence along the Androscoggin and its watershed. The Anasagunticooks would migrate from the headwaters to the sea, raising crops and catching the abundant fish that populated the river, and developing village areas as key points. In fact, the Canton Point was once the largest Native American village in New England.

Starting in the 19th century, the Androscoggin provided power for a multitude of mills and factories that were located on its banks. Consequently, the river also bore the brunt of industrialization.

By the middle of the 20th century, the Androscoggin was named one of the ten most polluted rivers in the United States.

With the leadership of Androscoggin River native Senator Edmund Muskie, and his authoring of the Clean Water Act, the Androscoggin has made an

incredible comeback. Public and private efforts have improved the water quality of the river and have led to countless boating access points along its length. Recreational opportunities feature wildlife watching and some of the best bass fishing in the northeast. A paddle along almost any stretch of the river reveals a world of beauty, wildlife and tranquility dotted with historic villages.

(Section descriptions are provided by the Androscoggin Watershed Council, Androscoggin Land Trust, and Chisholm Trails.)

Paddling the Androscoggin River There are multiple access points for boaters on the river, including both trailer boat launches and hand-carry put-ins for canoeists and kayakers.

Those traveling downstream through the region shown on this map must portage or transport their boats around four dams. The only rapids (Class 2+) are found in the lowermost stretch of the river midway between the Foundry Road access and the take out at Twin Bridges (Route 219), although there is some quick water in the stretch between Pine Island and the Otis Mill take-out.

Dixfield River Access (Dixfield) This hand-carry site in Dixfield allows paddlers to experience the full stretch of river in Canton and makes an ideal starting point for a day trip downstream to Riley Dam. If you choose you can portage around the dam. The put-in can be accessed from Canton Point Road roughly 2 miles west of the Canton–Dixfield town line. The total paddle distance from Dixfield to Riley is about 12 miles. This is a little-paddled section of the river, moving through corn and potato fields, hardwood-lined banks and back.

State of Maine—Trailered Access (Canton) This is the only boat launch in the region that provides access for boat trailers to the river. Follow Route 140 approximately 3.5 miles from Canton Village and turn right onto Dorey Road to reach the boat launch and parking area.

Riley Dam Access (Canton/Jay)

Twin Bridges (Livermore Falls)

Short portage trails on the river’s left bank provide access upstream and downstream from Riley Dam. A parking area at the end of a gravel drive is located on the south side of School Street (Route 140) just over three miles from the junction of Routes 140 and 4/17 in Jay. The total paddle distance from Riley to Otis Mill is a little over 5 miles.

Silver maples and other hardwoods line the river here. No bridges or nearby roads make this piece of the Androscoggin one of the most peaceful.

Two sets of rapids are midway down, not hazardous, but take some boat control to maneuver through successfully.

Warning: On the river right downstream of the Twin Bridges there is a substantial ledge drop rapid. Take out on the island and portage around rapids.

Pine Island/Verso Paper Corp. Access (Jay) Pine Island provides upstream and downstream hand-carry access with portage trails around Jay Dam. From Route 4/17 in Jay, follow signs for the Verso Paper Corp. Mill, cross the Androscoggin on POW Remembrance Bridge (Riley Road), and take the first right down a short gravel access road. After the Pine Island River access, there is no public access to the river upstream of the Livermore Falls Dam. Paddlers wishing to continue downstream must transport their boats downstream of the Livermore Falls Dam.

Foundry Road Access (Livermore Falls) This hand-carry site provides paddlers access to a peaceful, unbroken stretch of the river. After crossing the Androscoggin on Route 4 North, turn right at the first traffic light onto Main Street in Livermore Falls. Continue straight at the 90 degree turn and follow Foundry Road and travel approximately 0.3 miles to the signed put-in. An alternative hand-carry site is located on the opposite bank on River Road in Livermore.

Otis Mill Access (Jay) Informal access on the river’s left bank at the historic Otis Mill provides a take-out point for downstream paddlers needing to portage around Otis Dam. Located off of Mill Street in Jay.

WALKING TRAILS, PARKS & FIELDS A network of short trails linked to multi-use trail corridors provide numerous hiking opportunities and connect the region’s communities to one another and the Androscoggin. Community-driven efforts led by groups like Chisholm Trails are helping to create new trails that further connect schools and downtown villages to open spaces along the river.

French Falls River Walk , Jay

This easy, paved, multi-use trail begins at Bridge Street off Rt. 4 Northbound, immediately after the bridge (Gazebo Park) and ends at Shuy Corner, near the junction of Rts. 133 and 17. This newer trail will follow the Androscoggin River along Foundry Road through the historic birthplace of the industrial revolution in the Androscoggin Valley. Though all the buildings are gone, this is where Alvin Record built the first pulp and paper mill in Maine.

The Jay High School Science Club created this trail, in 1996. Two short loops totaling 1.25 miles wind behind French Falls Park and provide good views of the Androscoggin. The recreation fields and trails are located at the end of French Falls Lane, which is located on Route 4/17 across from the Spruce Mountain High School.

Spruce Mountain Ski Slope

Spruce Mountain Ski Slope in Jay is located right on the banks of the Androscoggin River, and is a com-

munity focal point for winter recreation. The affordable 11-trail ski area originally began in the 1950s as a ski club for interested winter enthusiasts. It opened as a public mountain in 1960 and is still largely maintained by volunteers from the communities of Jay, Livermore, and Livermore Falls. It’s a blast from the past, as you rise 300 vertical feet to the summit of the mountain via three rope tow lifts. Back in the day, the volunteer ski club worked with the local paper company across the river, the Otis Falls Mill, to wire some of its hydroelectricity to the mountain to power the lights and rope tows. Later snow making was added to the list of modern changes. The mountain offers ski classes for all ages. Enjoy a night of skiing under the lights, or take a jaunt around the cross-country ski trails that traverse the mountainside to the north.

The mascot, the Phoenix, symbolizes “rising from the ashes”of the two former schools.The name comes from Spruce Mountain located in Jay, Maine. For generations, students from both high schools have skied at the mountain making it an appropriate name for the school.

Memory IN LOVING

This year’s Chamber Area Guide is dedicated in Memory of Sue Donovan who passed away July 12, 2020. She lived to the fullest and gave her all into being a valued member of the community and surrounding areas by serving as Chair of the Jay, Livermore, Livermore Falls (JLLF) Chamber of Commerce. Susan was vivacious, creative, hard-working, a confidant, eloquent speaker, and a friend to many. She had an eye for both bright color and style. She brought that bright color into every room she walked into and will be missed by many.

Susan’s determination and dedication to the betterment of our community was immeasurable.
