Orono

Orono occupies a bend of the Penobscot River in central Maine. The town is closely identified with the University of Maine, whose main campus is here and whose institution was founded in 1865. University life sets much of Orono’s rhythm, from Black Bears athletics to performances at the Collins Center for the Arts and exhibitions at the Hudson Museum. River islands and wooded banks remain part of the local setting, while neighboring Old Town reflects the Penobscot Nation’s enduring presence in this part of Maine. Orono is also a useful base for exploring the wider Penobscot Valley, where forest, river communities and campus life meet.
