surrounded by some of the coldest and deepest waters on the coast. Locals here know these waters produce the most delicious and sought-after lobsters to be found anywhere. Nestled in the fishing village islands of Georgetown, also known as “the prettiest harbor in Maine”, Five Islands Lobster Co. stands out in a sea of dining options with the perfect combination of exceptional food and classic Maine atmosphere.
Our “Love Nest” grill serves casual fare including fried seafood baskets, grilled sandwiches and our renowned onion rings. The “Lobster” building offers live or cooked lobsters, steamers, and daily specials like mussels, along with corn on the cob and potatoes and coleslaw. And the “Ice Cream Building” proudly scoops up a wide variety of Annabelle’s Ice Cream.
Our food could not be any fresher.
Lobsters are pulled straight from the surrounding waters and are never “tanked-stored”. Our fried selections like haddock, shrimp, scallops and onion rings are hand-breaded, and Downeast Magazine says we have the “Best Fried Clams in Maine”. Stock pots simmer house-made soups in the kitchen. Even our sauces are made here with our own recipes. Why would we top our dishes with anything else? Tartar Sauce with fresh dill and capers, Cilantro Mayo with a kick of jalapeno and lime, and Mustard Dill spread to name a few.

Capitol Park is Maine’s earliest documented designed landscape. Augusta residents donated 34 acres overlooking the Kennebec River for the future State House and landscape and planted a formal allée of elms as a dignified setting for the Capitol. In 1920 Governor Carl Milliken commissioned the Olmsted Brothers, represented by Carl Rust Parker, to prepare plans for the grounds of the Governor’s mansion (Blaine House), State House, and park. The firm completed designs in 1920 and consulted sporadically until about 1929.
Parker’s design reinforced the park’s relationship to the State House, with wide gravel paths between four rows of historic elms and a formal granite entryway, and also included large expanses of lawn for public gatherings, a grove for public speaking, and a bandstand. The plan also called for tennis courts, a garden with native trees and shrubs, a zoo with native animals, and paths that led to scenic views of the river. Due to limited funding only parts of Parker’s plan were completed, and the zoo and gazebo were never built. Dutch elm disease killed the allée of elms, which has been replanted with hardy deciduous trees. Capitol Park was listed individually on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989 and as part of the Capitol Complex Historic District in 2001.

For an exciting mix of exercise, the natural world, and out of place military history, there’s no better place to spend a few hours than Mount Apatite in Auburn.
The park is owned by the town, is free to use, and a favorite convenient getaway for locals looking to stretch their legs without driving into the country.
There are a variety of trails of varying lengths and degrees of difficulty that are enjoyed by hikers, runners, and mountain bikers. The view from the mount’s peak gives picturesque views of the surrounding town, farms, and lakes.
There is also an assortment of old military vehicles along the trails which is odd but interesting.

Maine officially became a state on March 15, 1820. At the time, Portland was named temporary capital by being the state's largest city, but many felt Maine would be better served with a more centrally located capital. Brunswick, Hallowell, Waterville, Belfast, and Wiscasset all threw their hats in the ring, but Augusta emerged victoriously.

New England’s climate is conducive to growing apples, and the states of Maine, Vermont, and New Hampshire produce a healthy crop of the tasty fruit every year in a variety of sizes, colors, and tastes.
Rumor has it that the first apple tree was planted on the ground that’s now Lakeside Orchards in the 1870s – and they’ve been grown there ever since.
The orchard is now comprised of nearly 200 acres and thousands of trees and produces more than 10,000 bushels annually.
They’re located in Readfield, Maine, and for those who’d like to pick their own and take a guided farm tour, it’s a great place to spend a few hours.
