Old Town

Tucked along the Penobscot River in central Maine, Old Town is a place whose character is shaped by the river’s islands, currents and long connection to canoe travel. Indian Island, in the river beside the city, is home to the Penobscot Nation, whose people have maintained a deep relationship with this watershed. Old Town Canoe was founded here in 1898, and its name became familiar far beyond Maine through wooden and later modern watercraft. The city sits just north of Bangor, in the Penobscot Valley, where forested interior Maine meets a major river route toward the coast.
