Live, Work, Shop, and Play the Four Seasons
Washington County is one of the largest counties in Maine. Picturesque harbors dotted with fishing boats, meandering rivers, historic sites pre-dating the Revolutionary War, and bustling New England towns create an unforgettable experience for travelers.
Fresh water lakes, rivers, and streams provide homes to a large variety of wildlife. Deer and moose are often seen. Saltwater bays and tidal areas provide habitats for many bird species. A half-day island tour is available where you can view Puffins in their natural habitat. Ocean vistas abound on hiking trails in the area, and boating and kayaking are popular water sports.
Our natural resources offer a bounty of seafood, blueberries, and balsam products. Ninety-five percent of the world's blueberry crop is harvested here each August and culminates with our famous Machias Wild Blueberry Festival.
Whether you are considering relocating to the Machias Bay Area for employment, retirement, or are exploring our many opportunities as a visitor, the entire community welcomes you.

Fundraising Restoration Effort
Drawing by Fred Hartman
Eyes closed, we hear the whistle again. The old train is coming around the bend. It heralds with gratitude those who have contributed nearly $20,000 to date to the restoration of the old Machias Station we call Station 98.
Station 98 is listed on the National Registry of Historic Sites. We are starting
a scrapbook and would appreciate receiving photos you may have of loved ones
coming back from war, going off to college, or of visitors arriving by train.
