Brunswick

Among the towns of Maine, Brunswick stands out for its place on the Androscoggin River and its enduring connection to Bowdoin College. Founded in 1794, Bowdoin gives the town much of its intellectual and architectural identity; its campus includes the Bowdoin College Museum of Art and the Peary-MacMillan Arctic Museum. Writer Harriet Beecher Stowe lived here while her husband taught at the college, and she wrote Uncle Tom’s Cabin in Brunswick. Maine Street runs through the centre, linking independent businesses, civic buildings and the college grounds. The nearby coast of Casco Bay places the town within Maine’s maritime setting, while the river recalls its industrial past.
