Auburn

Auburn lies along the Androscoggin River, with its west-bank downtown facing Lewiston and wooded uplands stretching toward Lake Auburn. The lake is a drinking-water source for the two cities, while the river long supplied the power that shaped their shared industrial past. Together, Auburn and Lewiston developed as a major Maine mill center, with textile, shoe and other factories active through the 19th and early 20th centuries. Great Falls on the Androscoggin recalls the waterpower at the heart of that era. Today, Auburn links an urban river corridor with the lakes, forests and four-season recreation of western Maine.
