Welcome to our

HOME

One of the best decisions I have made in my life, right after marrying my husband is moving to Maine. We honeymooned in Maine. Spending two weeks driving along the coast from, Eastport to Kittery, experiencing that distinctive combination of special things Maine has to offer—rare beauty, a magnetic simplicity, and some of the best darned people you’ll ever meet. We fell in love with the rocky coastline, the gorgeous old homes, and the welcoming spirit of all the hard-working people we met along the way. We knew immediately in our hearts that this was the place we wanted to call home.

It will be 15 years, this May, since we turned that dream into a reality and made Bucksport the home of our family and our small business. We are very fortunate to be a part of a transforming community and area. If you are looking to start a business, relocate a business, or find a new home, we can say from experience that there is no better place to be than the Bucksport Bay Area. Bucksport’s central location made it an ideal place for us to call home. As a former mill town, Bucksport is at an exciting point of transition, where residents are shaping the future by creating a shared sense of belonging and strengthening the social, cultural, and economic vibrancy of our town. New businesses and industries are popping up in our area, thanks to the spirit of the citizens that make this area so special. We never worried that we would not be able to find all of our needs met. There is so much in this area. Within 25 miles, in any direction, you could swim in a lake, splash in the salt water, Ski or hike on a mountain, visit a fair, eat at acclaimed restaurants, Fly out of an international airport, take in a live performance, shop at a farmers’ market, look out from a lighthouse, walk in a 1800’s fort, and listen to a volunteered powered community radio station. This is just a small list of what you can discover here and for my family, jobs, good schools and a wonderful place to build a life.

We couldn’t possibly squeeze into these pages all of the reasons to come for a visit—or to stay! But we’ve tried to give you a taste of what makes this place so special. To learn more, call, drop by, or email us any time at the Chamber and we’ll help you discover why the Bucksport Bay Area is right for you. Thank you for picking up this guide and taking the time to read it.

I sincerely wish to see you in anyone of the communities the chamber serves, I promise to smile and wave hi! if I do.

You can fly your kite or enjoy that outdoor concert at a festival or spend the day at the beach. You can hike in Acadia, or kayak on Toddy, or waterski on Alamoosook, or swim, or picnic, or pick strawberries, or visit our local playground or golf course all of these marvelous things await you when the weather cooperates.

pouring out of gutters, you might groan with disappointment. You lie in bed and look up at the ceiling, regretful, pent up, angry even. You might think that this vacation day, this summer weekend, this morning off is ruined.

All of the obvious outdoor fun you intended seems lost, your precious time off wasted.

Unless, of course, you know the truth… The truth is that on rainy days some of the best ways to play in the Bucksport Bay Area beckon. There are movies, of course, and popcorn to be had; there are books and magazines to browse or buy, and new board games and puzzles to play; there is Jonathan Buck’s tomb to visit, in your best foul-weather gear. There are puddles to jump in on the way to unique museums, libraries, art galleries, antique shops, restaurants, and cafes. There is time to get quiet and visit, with the folks you meet while waiting for your pizza--and with one another, too.

There is, among other wonderful things, the extraordinary gift of Fort Knox. Its dim, damp interior a trip back in time, a treasure trove of active play, rain or shine. Generations of local children have learned the chant, “One-step, Hand Accounting & Tax Services Wayne Hand 207-469-7589

two-step…one-step, two-step…” that turns a sprint down Two-Step Alley into a long-remembered childhood ritual, and makes you want to finish and then begin again. There are canons and secret passageways, cool walls that drip on the driest of days.

And lingering around the corners, some say…there are ghosts! (Private ghost-hunting tours at the Fort can be arranged, and ghost-hunting group tours, including one overnight adventure, take place throughout the summer.)

The truth is, when you wake up on a rainy vacation day in the

Bucksport Bay Area, thanks to the Fort, and other special gems, you may just be about to have the very best game of hide-and-seek (or scavenger hunt!) you’ve ever had in your lives.

When you visit Maine, your heart inherently know what New England poet Robert Frost knew…“Nothing gold can stay.” The long summer days are fleeting; the ripening of the blueberries; the turning of the leaves; even the falling of another foot of snow will pass us by all too soon. Every thing has its season.

But no matter when you come, or how long you stay, there are ways to play that make time pass by more slowly—and more rapidly--all at once. There is the kind of fun to be had that leaves us spent and weary in the most satisfying way, aching for one more dive off the dock; one more hour on the trails; one more leisurely walk down Main Street. We collapse into our beach chairs after vigorous dives 2019 SEASON EXHIBIT and splash attacks, and slurp down fresh watermelon and lemonade. When we visit Maine, we can play from dusk ‘til dawn, rain or shine, in ways that will live in our memories forever, and bring us back time and time again.

Stay

L

When you come to stay in the Bucksport Bay Area, the golden experience of Maine shifts from being “the way life should be” to the way life is.

When you stay here, life transforms from the daily grind of work, to the daily grind of your favorite local coffee; from the hustle and bustle of city or suburban life, to the hustle and bustle of hiking, exploring, playing. As you breathe in the Maine air and take in the sights and sounds of this unique and special place, you may even find yourself taking on the habits of one of our most sacred and symbolic residents, the powerful, melodic, and fascinating loon.

Loons spend their days feeding, preening, resting, and caring for their young. They sing and float and fly. Their diet in summer consists primarily of fish. Loons sometimes spend long periods 10

resting motionless on the water. They may rouse themselves to stretch a leg or wing at intervals, occasionally comically waggling a foot above water. When you come to stay, you may find that this perfectly describes you… resting, floating, eating the catch-of-the-day, singing around the campfire at night, waiting for the sun to rise again, so that you spend another day on the water.

Maine children grow up noticing the sounds of nature, spilling out of doors, climbing and chasing and exploring. It is the scent of pines and the dappled sunlight on dirt roads that feels like home to them.

Their lullabies are the haunting songs of loons calling out into the darkness.

days and nights become the things urban and suburban grown-ups can only dream of, full of peaceful, satisfying moments of resting, spent in hammocks or bunk beds or spacious kings with water views or quiet pines whispering nearby.

You can become a child again, waking into the endless possibilities presented by ponds, rivers, mountains, fields, streams, and the ocean. You can throw back the covers of your cozy bed and rise into the brightening day, with picnics, lobsters, kayaks, ice cream, and sky-high views on your mind. You can sit around your campfire, or nestle in with a book, or put your feet up and watch the gentle rising and falling of the water. You can sleep in, savoring the quiet, the peace and the time to simply be in this experience of Maine life—not the way it “should” be, as the signs like to say, but rather, the way life is.

The Bucksport Motor Inn is centrally located to some of Maine’s most frequently visited coastal towns and attractions, including the historic Penobscot Narrows Bridge. We are family orientated and dog-friendly. Enjoy your stay with free WIFI, cable, refrigerators and microwaves.

Shop Buying local is a way of life in Maine

We honor the craftsmanship and the hard work of our neighbors when we buy goods and services produced here, or sold at locally-owned small businesses. A walk down Main Street, a drive on Route 1 or a visit to a farmers’ market in any town in the Bucksport Bay Area will show you why. Come discover hand-made jewelry, custom photography, artwork, crafts, and delicious treats.

From stained glass, to fiber arts, to the very best blueberry pie you’ve ever tasted, Mainers take pride in the work they create.

Dining

From May through October, in bedrooms in Orland, Bucksport, Blue Hill, Castine-all over the Bucksport Bay Area-alarms go off before dawn.

The men and the women who are our farmers, our bakers, our lobster fishermen (and women) rise before the sun, and as the mist begins to rise off the water, they put on their boots, their aprons, their foul-weather-gear, and they get to work. They set off for the fields, the restaurants, the fishing boats, and they labor, watering fields, milking cows, mixing and baking, planning that day’s specials, and hauling (literally) tons of lobster traps up out of the sea.

As the sun rises and the early morning fog begins to dissipate, the people who bring us our most delicious summertime food are already deep into their days, so that by the time we turn up for our morning coffee with blueberry pancakes, our lunch on the deck overlooking the bay, our picnic ingredients, our lobster dinners, they are well underway toward calling it a day.

DInE In the Bucksport Bay Area, our restaurants and eateries—be they seasonal favorites, year-round staples, food trucks, or ethnic cuisines—are our magic. We salivate in summer as we look forward to the fried clam baskets, lobster rolls, fish-and-chips, root beer floats, and all-you-can-eat shrimp at our favorite summer drive-ins.

We mark our calendars for the day our favorite ice cream parlor opens, and we watch the flavor-of-the-month calendar, so that we don’t miss the days of orange dream or peanut butter soft serve.

We celebrate a special occasion at a landmark restaurant located on the midcoast of Maine serving steak and seafood for over three decades. We treat ourselves to sandwiches made with care at a tiny Main Street shop that sources as many ingredients as it

can from local growers. We bring baskets and cloth bags to the farmers’ markets and walk away with breads, meats, cheeses, fresh produce, and if we get there early enough, a strawberry-rhubarb or blueberry pie.

The magic comes from the waiting and the wanting. From the willingness of others to rise before dawn and make our wishes come true. It comes from the year-round cycle of effort and sacrifice that makes local meals a mainstay— a Maine-stay—that is especially sweet in the summer and early fall.

When you come to visit Maine, you are not just visiting a place, you are visiting a people. A people who value the quiet virtues of a hard day’s work; a people who will smile at you from across their countertops and tables as you order their catch-of-the-day; a people who tend lovingly to their tasks day-in-and-day-out, and then set their alarms again and lay their heads on their pillows with a smile, knowing that it was all worth it, because their families are thriving, their hard work has meaning, and they fed unknown numbers of other people well this day.

Bucksport

For centuries, the Bucksport Bay Area has called to visitors from near and far, enticing them to visit—and often, to stay.

Many local families can date their ancestors’ arrival here to the early 18th and 19th centuries. They came for the deep-water port, for the forests and lakes, for the hunting and fishing, for the fresh air; they came for adventure, opportunity, exploration.

More modern visitors, from other parts of Maine and from all around the globe, have come for these same reasons. They’ve come--and many have stayed--for all these things, and more.

This is the country of the pointed firs, “the way life should be,” a place where neighbors greet neighbors at the grocery store, where simple living is juxtaposed against great feats of engineering that are so ever-present, they seem (after a while) to be commonplace.

The Penobscot Narrows Bridge and Observatory, for example, which spans Bucksport’s bay at the mouth of the Penobscot River, is the tallest occupied structure in Maine and the highest bridge observatory in the world. Standing just upriver from the bridge is Fort Knox (circa 1844), the first fort in Maine made entirely of granite and the only fully casemated fort in the country.

These impressive landmarks, which are both open to visitors, stand side-by-side, and when you are in downtown Bucksport, they are your view! A drive along Main Street or a walk along the million-dollar waterfront rewards visitors every time with one of the most distinctive views in Maine, as well as an opportunity to experience “Before the Wind” (#1 on the trail map of the Schoodic International Sculpture Symposium) located at Flag Point on the waterfront. (We recommend enjoying the waterfront, as the locals do, with an ice cream in hand from

Wahl’s Dairy Port!)

Bucksport is a small town with a big bay—and an excellent town dock for those sailing or cruising in—surrounded by several smaller towns and acres of forest, many of them with public trails, such as the Great Pond Mountain Conservation Trust wildlands and the Miles Lane walking trails, as well as many lakes and ponds that are open for swimming, picnicking, canoeing, kayaking and equipped with public boat launches.

The public library, in a historic granite building on Main Street, and the town pool are free and open to all. For those looking for a break on a long car ride, Bucksport offers two excellent playgrounds within minutes of downtown.

Main Street includes a variety of businesses, including restaurants with many locally-sourced ingredients (including seafood, of course!), gift shops, a wine bar with lovely outdoor seating, an independent bookseller, which offers free Wi-Fi and a nice selection of affordable wines by the bottle,

and an independent movie theater. From mid-May through October, Main Street hosts a Farmers’ Market every Thursday from 2pm to 5pm. And every Wednesday in the summer, from 5pm to 7pm “Wednesday on Main” provides entertainment and cultural events, all open to the public.

For those interested in history, the Bucksport Historical Society (located on the waterfront), Jacob Buck’s famous (and possibly cursed!) tomb (located on Main Street, across from Hannaford’s) and various points of interest with placards along the waterfront may pique your interest.

After many decades as a paper mill town, this town of roughly 5,000 is in a period

Orland

3 Miles from Bucksport

Just down Acadia Highway or the Penobscot River, Bucksport’s neighbor to the East is the town of Orland. A gorgeous, down-to-earth rural area, rich with lakes and ponds, almost all of which have public access for swimming or water sports, Orland is a great place to spend a day or to go camping. It is also home to many miles of public trails, including the Wildlands managed by Great Pond Mountain Conservation Trust, and those seeking a perfect spot for hiking, jogging, skiing, climbing, horseback riding, snowmobiling, or snowshoeing will be spoiled for choice.

Every year for the last 41 years, on the last weekend in June, the town of Orland hosts River Day, to celebrate the mighty Narramissic River, which flows gently through the center of Orland Village. This seasonal celebration had its heyday in the 1970s, but still offers a small parade, food, crafts, a cannonball contest (biggest splash wins!), a raft race--in which past entrants included a floating volleyball court with teams competing while they floated,

of transition. Invigorated by the opportunity to reimagine Bucksport, local residents— from children to adults--elected officials, businesses, community organizations, and churches are all stepping up, looking to find what really matters as they come together to pour life into a renewed and thriving version of Bucksport that matches its town motto, “Rich in heritage; looking to the future.”

As a Heart and Soul® community, Bucksport is a place where people believe that the strength of a community lies in the hands and the hearts of the people who live there. Come for a visit, come to stay, and you will find that Bucksport has heart and soul…just as it always has.

www.orlandme.org and a floating picnic, complete with picnic table--and the River Duck Dash, in which 1,000 rubber ducks “dash” down the river.

The town is served by a highly-regarded volunteer fire department, which gained a certain measure of fame for doing yoga in their turnout gear two years ago. You can find a photo in the Ellsworth American’s “Come Home to Maine” guide, offered for free in rest areas in Maine, and meet the firefighters at River Day. Perhaps the most endearing and emblematic celebration in Orland, however, happens every December. Each year, on the Saturday night closest to the winter solstice, a handful of volunteers quietly move through the streets, distributing hundreds of luminaria. The Lights of Orland illuminate the main road leading into and out of the village, as well as both sides of the river. The quiet beauty is breathtaking, and done without fanfare, as an offering, from neighbor to neighbor, and to all who pass through.

www.veroname.org Verona Island sits in the Bucksport Bay, surrounded by the Penobscot River. Home to about 500 people, at least one nesting pair of osprey and a large number of bald eagles, it is accessible by two bridges, the Penobscot Narrows Bridge, which helps to connect the towns of Waldo County to Bucksport and the rest of Downeast Maine, and the smaller Verona Bridge, which connects the island to Bucksport.

Once a ship-building village, Verona is most famous for the last ship ever built there: S.S. Roosevelt, the great ship that Robert Peary sailed to the North Pole in 1908.

The Verona Island Historical Society has launched a campaign to support an S.S. Roosevelt Discovery Museum project.

They hope to construct a new, high-end facility to educate the public about the nautical history of the area. The proposed 2,400 sq. ft. facility will focus its exhibits on 5 Miles from Bucksport

www.prospectmaine.org Prospect is a quiet, rural town in Waldo County, just across the river from Bucksport and Verona Island. It is home to both Fort Knox and the Penobscot Narrows Bridge and Observatory, one of only three cablestayed bridges in the U.S. Every visitor to the area should pack a picnic and spend a day exploring Fort Knox, a large, granite, casemated fort.

Named for Revolutionary War general Henry Knox, construction on the huge fort began in 1844. With its brick arches, cool underground passages, and enormous cannon, exploring the fort is a captivating experience for curious children and adults alike. Originally built to protect Bangor and its vital lumber industry from the British, Fort

early 20th century boat-building in this region and, in particular, the commission and construction of the S.S. Roosevelt and the achievements of Commodore Peary in his Northeast Passage and North Pole expeditions.

Roughly nine square miles, Verona has a public boat launch, a picnic area, and for cyclists or joggers, the road that loops around the island is a lovely excursion. Early each spring, the Bridge the Gap race begins at Fort Knox, travels over the Penobscot Narrows Bridge, and then circles the island. Swimming in the Penobscot River is very dangerous and not advised due to strong currents, but a day spent sailing, sight-seeing on the water, or fishing, either in your own craft or in a charter, followed by a meal at Island Rise & Shine and a shopping excursion to Unique Rock Shop, make for a day worth remembering.

Prospect

Knox was never completed or used in battle, and construction was halted after the Civil War. Its cool, humid interior and river breezes make it a very pleasant place to be on a hot summer day. It also provides the best view of Bucksport’s classic New England waterfront--and it is said to be the most popular historic site in Maine.

If you’d like it to, your ticket to the Fort can include a trip up the Penobscot Narrows Observatory, the tallest public observatory in the world. Throughout the summer, Fort Knox is also home to many special events, including ghost hunting, pirate ships, Civil War re-enactments, and what just might be the best haunted house experience in Maine. bucksportbaychamber.com

Stockton Springs Stockton Springs is a small coastal community in Waldo County. Nestled between Belfast and Bucksport on Coastal Route 1, it features one of the region’s most undiscovered gems: Sandy Point Beach Park, a 100acre property that is free and open to the public, offers visitors more than half-a-mile of undeveloped sandy beach for walking, beach-combing, and relaxing. A nesting pair of osprey can often be found there, as well as cormorants and other seabirds.

Located just south of the impressive Penobscot Narrows Bridge, Stockton Springs is

With its direct water access and public boat ramp, Frankfort provides great boating and fishing opportunities. Mount Waldo also offers hiking, blueberry picking, and an old granite quarry to explore. (Access is on Mount Waldo Road.) There are many acres of town-owned forest and the Frankfort ATV Club maintains good riding trails.

In fact, the misspelling of “cemetery” was the authentic work of Orrington children.

Bucksport’s neighbor to the north, Orrington is located just up the historic Penobscot River, at the southern tip of Penobscot County. With a population of about 3,700, the small town of Orrington is a major transportation link between the Bucksport Bay Area and Bangor—and points south and north on I95. In the heyday of the Bucksport paper mill, the River Road (Route 15) was heavily trafficked by logging trucks delivering lumber to the mill. It was while living in

also home to Fort Point State Park, a quiet park with a lovely little sand beach. The park includes 120 acres for hiking and jogging, as well as a fishing pier, a lighthouse, picnic areas, and the remains of Fort Pownall, built in the mid-18th century.

Stockton Springs is also home to a robust community library that is open to the public, and which is staffed and operated entirely by volunteers. Check their calendar for special events for children and adults throughout the year.

Settled around 1760, Frankfort is the oldest town on the Penobscot River. Its first residents were Massachusetts soldiers who came to build Fort Pownall (in what is now Stockton Springs). Frankfort is a neighbor to Winterport and Prospect across the river from Bucksport, and in the early 20th century it was a major ship-building center. Its granite quarries were also an important economic driver for the town; in fact, the granite used to build Fort Knox was quarried at Mt. Waldo in Frankfort.

www.searsport.maine.gov Settled in the late 18th century, Searsport is situated between Stockton Springs and Belfast. This true port-town has a strong maritime history and boasts nearly ten miles of coastline. Searsport’s major industries were shipbuilding and cargo handling, and this seaport town was famous for its sea captains. In the mid-19th century, it was reportedly home to ten percent of all American deep-water shipmasters. These sea captains traveled the world and brought home their treasures, some of which are now on display at the Penobscot Marine Museum, the oldest maritime museum in Maine.

Searsport is also the perfect spot for modern-day treasure hunters, as it has miles of flea markets and antique dealers along Route 1.

www.penobscot-maine.com Within the boundaries of Penobscot, which gets its name from the Abenaki-Penobscot word for “rocky place,” you’ll find two small, ancient mountains, two large ponds, a ridge of fertile farmland, several blueberry fields, a peat bog, and more than 18 miles of shoreland on an ocean bay, a tidal river, and a large freshwater pond.

At one time larger than Bangor in population, the rural town of Penobscot, which borders Orland, Castine, and Blue Hill, now has fewer than 1300 residents, many of whom make their living with home-based businesses and family farms.

There is a general store, some delicious seafood drive-in and take-out restaurants, and an annual Penobscot Days celebration. Some of the residents are descen-

Searsport Shores Oceanfront Campground offers seaside camping, including tents, RVs, or rented cabins. They host artists-in-residence, lobster bakes, clam digging expeditions, and the annual Fiber College of Maine.

Off the coast of Searsport is Sears Island, the largest uninhabited island on the East Coast. Sears Island is accessible by a causeway and offers excellent biking and walking along the many natural hiking trails. In the winter, the trails are perfect for snowshoeing. Searsport is also the location of Moose Point State Park, which overlooks the Penobscot Bay off Route 1. It has gentle hiking trails along the beach or in the forest, an excellent playground, and clean bathrooms with flush toilets. Guided tours of the park’s geologic highlights are offered.

dants of early 18th-century settlers; some arrived more recently and liked what they found; and some are seasonal residents, who come to enjoy the lush and gentle summers.

The Bagaduce River flows through the town, and Penobscot’s woods and wetlands are home to many native species, including deer, bears, foxes, beavers, otters, osprey, eagles, hawks, songbirds, wild turkey--and the occasional moose. Six preserves, parks, and designated public trails provide excellent hiking, as well as hunting, so hikers during the deer hunting season (November) should proceed with caution, keep dogs on leashes, and wear blaze orange.

For the charming riverside community of Winterport, The Union Meeting House, built in 1834 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973, is a special point of pride. You’ll find there: a bell cast by Paul Revere; a belfry clock installed in 1861; and a Masons and Hamlin hand-pumped reed organ installed in 1859.

Situated on the west bank of the Penobscot River, across from Bucksport, Winterport was settled ten years before the Declaration of Independence.

It earned its name because its harbor was the last open and unfrozen inland harbor on the much-transited Penobscot River. Gorgeous historic homes, many built for Winterport sea captains, still grace Winterport Village streets.

Today, Winterport Village has a bus-

tling downtown, with restaurants, convenience stores, gift shops and other businesses. In 2003 with the help of federal, state and private funds, Winterport completed a $6.5 million reconstruction of Main Street.

Like all of its neighbors, Winterport is served by a volunteer fire department; in this case, the Volunteer Fire and Rescue is more than one hundred years old.

Entertainment ranges from outdoor activities, including blueberry- and apple-picking, hunting, fishing, hiking, golfing, snowmobiling, and drag-racing, as well as cultural events, including theatrical stage productions and concerts.

It’s also home to a state-of-the-art recording studio.

Blue Hill 11 Readers of E.B. White may recognize Blue Hill as the setting of the agricultural fair in “Charlotte’s Web.” If you visit during Labor Day weekend, you can attend the fair yourself and keep an eye out for Charlotte’s descendants as you admire the livestock being shown at the Blue Hill Fair. (“Charlotte’s Web” and “Stuart Little” were both written at E.B. White’s home in the nearby town of Brooklin, which is on the National Register of Historic Places, but not open to the public.)

While Blue Hill is a small town in many ways—it’s home to less than 3,000 people—it is rich with cultural activities, including theatre and chamber music, galleries, shops, and restaurants. Within

Blue Hill is home to many artists and craftsmen, some of them quite famous, as well as teachers, boat-builders, farmers, and fisherfolk.

Blue Hill Mountain overlooks the town and its public trails and pathways are free and open to the public. The splendid view from the top is one every visitor should see, and one locals never tire of.

www.castine.me.us Castine is one of the oldest colonial communities in North America, having been occupied continuously for more than four centuries by France, Holland, England and colonial America. Now home to Maine Maritime Academy, a highly-ranked public school of engineering, this small coastal village is spread across approximately 7.9 square miles and is located on a peninsula in the East Penobscot Bay. History or maritime buffs will find much to entice them in Castine, where the deep water port is home to the training ship State of Maine, and where more than 100 historic markers can be found.

Visitors can enjoy a walking tour that highlights fifty historic sites and buildings, including three forts occupied during

Castine offers golfing, sailing, tennis, kayaking, boating, and yoga, as well as a quaint downtown with dining, art galleries, and shops. Within minutes of downtown, visitors can also find the cliffs of Dyce Head Lighthouse, the free beaches of the back shore, and from late May through September, exhibits, classes, presentations, and other special events at The Wilson Museum.

Living Here If you are Considering the Bucksport Bay Area as a possible place for relocation, collecting useful local information is essential to making a good decision.

The Town of Bucksport has a fantastic website www.bucksportmaine.gov that can supply you with statistics but spending time with the locals will give you the true picture.

When you start looking at small towns as a place to retire or relocate, there are a few things you may want to keep in mind. The appeals of small towns are many. For instance most small towns in Maine are generally quieter, have a good sense of community, less traffic, lower property and sales taxes and the housing costs are much more affordable. Bucksport is the center of the known universe. Located 18 miles from Bangor, Ellsworth, Belfast, Castine and Blue Hill, a Bucksport location touches all of eastern Maine. We are 35 miles to Bar Harbor and 35 miles to Camden, 65 miles to Augusta and 65 miles to Lincoln.

People make their homes all over our area, whether it’s along in-town streets, country roads or State Routes, in the hills, in the valleys, by the shores, or down long dirt roads, regardless of the physical distances there may be between the residents of Bucksport, there is still a strong community spirit that can be felt throughout the town. Neighbors helping neighbors and families doing for families are an important part of what makes living in Bucksport so appealing, and it’s why so many are proud to call Bucksport their home. Life really is good here, and you will find lots of people who will agree, wherever they may live.
