Welcome!

Welcome to the Jay, Livermore, and Livermore Falls area! We are a region rich in natural resources, industry, commerce, community, and real Mainers. We invite you to experience the true Maine: a Maine of natural beauty harnessed by enterprising entrepreneurs, of friendly people who genuinely want to help you, and a place for a quiet moment to take for yourself.

Our area boasts the mighty Androscoggin River, running through our towns and providing power, rec-reation, and beauty. Numerous falls and rips can be ex-plored by kayak or canoe. Or maybe enjoy a local coffee by one of our dams and watch the water tumble.

Come enjoy our many lakes and ponds with a boat ride, fishing trip, or take a dip in the summer heat. When it’s cold, our winter ice fishing is world class. And Maine’s major snowmobile trails are all accessible; no need to drive any further. Nearby hiking opportunities are avail-able for those who want to get even closer to nature. Snowshoe in the winter, go camping in the summer. Area skiing options abound, including our own local Spruce Mountain Ski Club on the shores of the river.

Our local farms have for centuries provided fresh produce of all kinds to our local dining establishments. They have the best Maine has to offer, from fine dining with family to bustling diners with friends.

Our community acts like a community. We work and play together. Our area boasts numerous community events through the year, like History Night, the Apple Pumpkin Festival, and the Spruce Mountain Sled-In. Check out the calendar of events in this Guide and then come have some fun.

Folks in the Jay, Livermore, and Livermore Falls are hard workers. Be sure to see the back of this Guide for a listing of our members. We farm, we cut, we build, we design, and we make. We are as friendly as we are pro-ductive. Our business community takes that to heart. So come visit our shops, where you will find local crafts, amazing local treats, and someone behind the counter who smiles and genuinely wants to talk to you. That’s the way Maine really is.

A Place to Live, Work and Play

The Jay, Livermore, Livermore Falls Chamber of Commerce welcomes you to explore and enjoy the heart of the Androscoggin River Valley.

The JLLF area is located at the center point of four counties. Within 10 minutes in any direction, you can be in Androscoggin, Franklin, Kennebec or Oxford Counties. This means if your travels take you to many of the larger communities in our area, such as Augusta, Lewiston/Auburn and Farmington, you’re less than an hour away. 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 re-gion. Each town embodies the close-knit commu-nities synonymous with the enduring qualities of many Maine towns. The people who call this place home treasure the good old fashioned val-ues that are often lost in other areas of the globe. Their work ethic is second to none. Collectively, they are always willing to pull together to get the job done—helping a neighbor or a stranger off the street. We are the home of Maine’s finest paper mill and are surrounded by many smaller businesses where the owner is still in the shop.

A Place Rich with History and Opportunity

JAYThe Town of Jay, incorporated on February 26,

1795, is in southern Franklin County, situated on the Androscoggin River. The area became a hot-bed of industry during the Industrial Revolution, with the river providing power for a multitude of mills and factories. While industry and conserva-tion remain a strong part of the Jay area, the town retains a rural feel, with a population of approxi-mately 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 col-or 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.

For more information about the Town of Jay, visit www.jay-maine.org or call (207) 897-6785.

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, con-gressmen, governors, entrepreneurs and naval leaders. Now their ancestral home is the Wash-burn Norlands Living History Center, a national historic treasure. Visitors learn about the family through the mid-1800s, and experience life in ru-ral Maine in the 1900s, through watching reenact-ments, 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 sec-ondary highways in the state, Livermore offers tremendous exposure for anyone looking to at-tract business from those traveling to tourist des-tinations, 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 dif-ferent 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.

For more information on the Town of Livermore, call (207) 897-3207.

LIVERMORE FALLSOriginally, Livermore Falls was part of Port Roy-

al, which was settled in the 1770s. It was incorpo-rated 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 sup-plying 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 Revolu-tion 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 fam-ilies 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.papermuseu-mofmaine.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 re-searched at the Paper Museum. Livermore Falls is now a quiet village with an historic downtown. It has the convenience of in town living, while re-taining the tranquility of past rural life.

Today, there are approximately 3,500 people living in the 20 square miles that make up Liver-more Falls.

A Place Rich with Natural Resources

and RecreationResidents and visitors develop an appreciation

for the area’s great natural beauty, with our all-season trails, scenic vistas and wide array of recre-ational activities. The Central Androscoggin River Valley offers ample hunting, fishing, boating, bicy-cling 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 begin-

ning 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 pro-vides an excellent source of power, but also rec-reation. During the Industrial Revolution the area became a hotbed of industry, due in large part to this wonderful resource. Like many other commu-nities 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 in-credible 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 un-der 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.

But there is plenty of fish to go around! The Androscoggin boasts some of the best bass fish-ing in the northeast! For the fly fisherman who wants a real challenge, wily brown trout lurk in the riffles. You may see a group of children fishing with worms below Riley Dam, and on the other end of the spectrum you might see a fly-fishing class being conducted by LL Bean near Pine Island.

Our Chamber of Commerce has partnered with the Androscoggin Land Trust and local busi-nesses to develop maps of our region that high-

light trails, open space, and access points to the Androscoggin River and our numerous ponds. See page 22 for some of the area’s recreation locations.

For more information or to acquire a map on where to find recreation areas along the Andro-scoggin River, call the Androscoggin Land Trust at (207)782-2302 or visit www.androscogginland-trust.org.

The natural wonder that is the Androscoggin River is an untapped treasure waiting to be dis-covered.

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 strawber-ries. 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. Check out our calendar of events on page 9 as well to see what specific opportunities may be available for you to experience with our locally grown and crafted goods.

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 Washburn-Norlands Living History Center is a non-profit organization, dedicated to the pres-ervation of 18th and 19th century rural Maine heritage. The Washburn-Norlands Foundation was formed in 1973, at the bequest of Washburn family descendants. The Foundation converted the property into a living history museum with the intent of preserving the estate and the re-markable stories of its past. Today the organiza-tion is run by a Board of Trustees, who together ensures the protection of the estate, its collec-tions and their future.

The Washburn-Norlands estate is occupied by four historic buildings, the 1867 Mansion, 1883 Library, 1828 Meeting House and 1853 School House. Each building has been restored and op-erates as a museum. The Norlands is home to a number of collections; including Washburn fam-

ily papers, photographs, artwork, historic clothing, books, furniture, and more.

Recreation

THE ANDROSCOGGIN

RIVER(Section descriptions are provided by the An-

droscoggin Watershed Council, Androscoggin Land Trust, and Chisholm Trails.)

The Androscoggin River flows 177 miles from Umbagog Lake at the Maine-New Hampshire bor-der to Merrymeeting Bay where it joins the Ken-nebec River. Dropping over 1,200 feet in elevation from its headwaters, the Androscoggin has an av-erage 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 pop-ulated the river, and developing village areas as key points. In fact, the Canton Point was once the largest Native American village in of New England.

Starting in the 19th century, the Androscoggin provided power for a multitude of mills and facto-ries that were located on its banks. Consequently, the river also bore the brunt of industrialization. By the middle of the 20th century, the Androscog-gin was named one of the ten most polluted riv-ers in the United States.

With the leadership of Androscoggin River na-tive Senator Edmund Muskie, and his authoring of the Clean Water Act, the Androscoggin has made an incredible comeback. Public and private ef-forts have improved the water quality of the river and have led to countless boating access points

along its length. Recreational opportunities fea-ture 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 vil-lages.

Paddling the Androscoggin RiverThere 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 ac-cess 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 down-stream to Riley Dam. If you choose you can por-tage 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 pro-vides access for boat trailers to the river. Follow

Page 22: 2016 Jay, Livermore, Livermore Falls Area Guide

20 Jay | Livermore | Livermore Falls Area Guide www.jay-livermore-lf.org 2016-2017

Route 140 approximately 3.5 miles from Canton Village and turn right onto Dorey Road to reach the boat launch and park-ing area.

Riley Dam Access (Canton/Jay)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.

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. Af-ter 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.

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

Twin Bridges (Livermore Falls)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 haz-ardous, 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.

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 de-gree 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 oppo-site bank on River Road in Livermore.

WALKING TRAILS, PARKS & FIELDS

A network of short trails linked to multi-use trail corridors provide numerous hiking opportuni-ties and connect the region’s communities to one another and the Androscoggin. Community-driv-en 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.

Foundry Trail, Livermore FallsThis 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.

French Falls River Walk , JayThe 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.

Directions: The entrance to French Falls is on French Falls Lane, right beside the Knights of Co-lumbus Hall on Main Street, and across from the Spruce Mountain High School.

Spruce Mountain Ski SlopeSpruce 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 afford-able 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 main-tained 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 com-pany 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.

Directions: Ski Slope Road, Jay (enter from the Livermore end of the Rt. 4 bridge)

For 42 years Main-Land has provided these services to landowners, developers, municipali-ties and state and federal governments, including planning, surveying, soil test-ing, environmental mapping, engineer-ing, road construction and permitting across the state. Some of Main-Land’s planning and engineering projects include the Oxford Casino, the expansion of the base lodge at Saddleback Mountain ski resort and the Moose Landing Marina in Naples. “Main-Land has grown to the point where we could no longer stay in our current building on Church Street,” said

Berry. “We had to move to a larger facility in order to grow and continue serving our expanding client base and market sectors.” Murray Hall was built in the 1920s. The building burned in 1957, and was

rebuilt in 1958 as the building seen to-day at 69 Main St. Livermore Falls. Main-Land will not offer the building for com-munity functions as it is currently being used, as the renovation will change the nature of the facility, according to Berry. However, the building will continue to be called Murray Hall and be main-tained as an important part of the char-acter of Main Street in Livermore Falls. “We want to be sensitive to the historic nature of this building,” said Berry. “This

building was built by a Livermore Falls business. We intend that a Livermore Falls business will continue at this facility. We have great respect for our paper-making founders, and hope to carry on in their tra-dition of commerce and community service.”

POLYCORIn 2015, Polycor purchased the North Jay Gran-ite Quarry and began development of the quarry and construction of a curbing plant. Their intent is to become a granite curbing supplier for the U.S. market, primarily in New England. Projections include the creation of 20 direct and 20 indirect jobs cre-ated through their development along with approximately three million dollars per year injected in to the local economy. The North Jay Granite Quarry was one of the first industries to come to the Town of Jay. It became active in the 1880’s and it flourished for half a century. The light colored stone made the granite popular throughout the nation. Stones were cut for curbing and paving as well as building materials. There are structures of national and state

importance throughout the United States including Grant’s Tomb in New York City; the Penn Mutual Life Insurance Co. building in Philadelphia; and City Hall in Portland, Maine.

The North Jay White Granite Park was opened in 2005. The Park in-cludes a one-mile walking trail that meanders through an old orchard as well as through a marked hik-ing and interpretive trail that leads to a beautiful gazebo and amazing views of the Quarry and the Town. Near the parking area is a small kiosk

where visitors from around the world find informa-tion about the park and the Quarry. The Park is very family-friendly with easy hiking as well as picnic ta-bles and benches throughout. The Park is accessed from Woodman Hill Road and is free to the public.
