Welcome to the Jay, Livermore, Livermore Falls Area! If you are reading this area guide, you’re probably won-dering what this community has to offer. I think you will be pleasantly surprised.
As a small business owner, 40 miles away, I decided to join the JLLF Chamber of Commerce to a get to know this community better. I began by networking our business to meet people through the many events the chamber hosts and sponsors. I’ve gotten to know the kind of people that live here through our families and the people I’ve had the pleasure of meeting in the last 3 years. They are friendly, caring and compassionate. That’s what gives these towns their distinctive trait.
Take in rural Maine, and Maine-made goods. You can fi nd anything from Maine maple syrup and apples to handmade crafts and woodwork. Look for fresh sea-sonal fruit and vegetable stands. There are a number of local restaurants to choose from.
Our small towns together, have many recreational opportunities for all four seasons.
Area trails to hike, bike, ride your ATV or snowmobile. Local skiing, X-country skiing, and snowshoeing.
Enjoy boating, kayaking and fi shing on the river, or one of our surrounding lakes. There’s nearby golfi ng and state fairs, festivals. Something for everyone!
During those inclement weather days, whatever the season, you may want to enjoy browsing and support-ing the local businesses many of which are in this guide along with a list of events taking place.
Again, welcome and enjoy the experience. Hope to see you again in the future!

Welcome
The Jay, Livermore, Livermore Falls Chamber of Commerce welcomes you to explore and enjoy the heart of the Androscoggin River Valley.
The JLLF area is located at the center point of four counties. Within 10 minutes in any direction, you can be in Androscoggin, Franklin, Kennebec or Oxford Counties. This means if your travels take you to many of the larger communities in our area, such as Augusta, Lewiston/Auburn and Farmington, you’re less than an hour away. We are also approximately an hour away from Maine’s magnifi cent coastline and the best skiing on the Eastern seaboard of the United States. Not to mention, we have many lakes, rivers, streams and many smaller mountains and nature trails right in our backyard.
Jay, Livermore and Livermore Falls are nestled in the Androscoggin River Valley and are the gateway to the Western Lakes and Mountains re-gion. Each town embodies the close-knit commu-nities synonymous with the enduring qualities of many Maine towns. The people who call this place home treasure the good old fashioned val-ues that are often lost in other areas of the globe. Their work ethic is second to none. Collectively, they are always willing to pull together to get the job done—helping a neighbor or a stranger off the street. We are the home of Maine’s fi nest paper mill and are surrounded by many smaller businesses where the owner is still in the shop.
A Place Rich with History and Opportunity
JAYThe Town of Jay, incorporated on February 26,
1795, is in southern Franklin County, situated on the Androscoggin River. The area became a hot-bed of industry during the Industrial Revolution, with the river providing power for a multitude of mills and factories. While industry and conserva-tion remain a strong part of the Jay area, the town retains a rural feel, with a population of approxi-mately 5,000 across 48 square miles. Jay is home to Verso Paper Corp.’s Androscoggin Mill, which is the second largest producer of coated paper in the country.
Located at the gateway to major ski areas, Jay has access to abundant recreational activities. French Falls is a ball fi eld in the summer. Jay is the home of Spruce Mountain (sprucemountain.org), a small ski area owned by the three towns. The slope has eleven trails maintained by volunteers and is reasonably priced for families. Jay offers public tennis courts, and a 14-mile Rail Trail from Jay to Farmington that supports snowmobiles, ATVs, horseback riding, biking, and hiking. The Androscoggin River provides opportunities for excellent fi shing and wildlife viewing, and is a venue for many tournaments. Canoes and kayaks are now a common sight, as residents and visitors are using the river as never before.

North Jay is known historically for its white granite quarries that led to the development of one of the fi rst industries in Jay. For decades, the North Jay White Granite Quarry provided the granite—highly prized for its fi ne grain, white col-or and strength—for numerous public buildings across the country, including Grant’s Tomb and City Hall in Portland. Today, you can visit North Jay’s White Granite Quarry Park and hike scenic trails meandering through one of our many area orchards to a now idle small quarry.
For more information about the Town of Jay, visit www.jay-maine.org or call (207) 897-6785.
LIVERMORE The area was settled in the 1770s as Port Royal
and was incorporated in 1795. It later derived its name from Deacon Elijah Livermore, one of its fi rst settlers.
Livermore was also home to the Washburns, one of the prominent families of the 19th century. This remarkable family produced senators, con-gressmen, governors, entrepreneurs and naval leaders. Now their ancestral home is the Wash-burn Norlands Living History Center, a national historic treasure. Visitors learn about the family through the mid-1800s, and experience life in ru-ral Maine in the 1900s, through watching reenact-
ments, or participating in daily chores on the farm and in the mansion, and learning the ways of the one-room school house. The Museum is located at 290 Norlands Road. For more information, go to www.norlands.org or call (207) 897-4366.
Situated on one of the heaviest traveled sec-ondary highways in the state, Livermore offers tremendous exposure for anyone looking to at-tract business from those traveling to tourist des-tinations, or commuting to and from work. The people living in Livermore are proud of its rich and diverse history of agriculture and forestry, and its small business enterprises. Small stores and a close community lend to the serenity of the rolling mountains surrounding it. The town has three boat launches that allow access to three dif-ferent lakes and some of the best “hidden” fi shing in Western Maine.
There are more than 2,000 people residing in Livermore over approximately 40 square miles.
For more information on the Town of Livermore, call (207) 897-3207.
LIVERMORE FALLSOriginally, Livermore Falls was part of Port Roy-
al, which was settled in the 1770s. It was incorpo-rated as part of Livermore in 1795. At this time, Livermore had a county line running through the middle, divided by the Androscoggin River. West of the river was part of Oxford County and east of the river was part of Kennebec County. East Livermore, formed and incorporated in 1845, was set off from Kennebec County on March 31, 1854 to create Androscoggin County. East Livermore is now known as Livermore Falls
Early in the 19th century, the area was still mostly farmland, with orchards and dairies sup-plying the markets of Portland and Boston. As the century progressed, logging and papermaking came to the forefront as the Industrial Revolution
peaked. In the late 1800s, Livermore Falls was a bustle of various mills, large and small, and could be called the epicenter of the Industrial Revolu-tion here in western Maine. Multiple mills were built in the latter part of the 19th century, taking advantage of the Androscoggin’s tremendous waterpower. Hugh Chisholm, lifelong friend and collaborator of Thomas Alva Edison, purchased his fi rst paper mill in Livermore Falls, then built or purchased a number of other mills that even-tually became the multi-national paper maker of today, International Paper Company. Most of the mills - from paper to grist - are gone from the area, but the population that was drawn here by the need for workers for the various mills and rail-roads has remained. Generations of these multi-ethnic families are still residents of the area and have a strong pride in their historic role develop-ing industries at the heart of the Androscoggin River area. Maine’s Paper and Heritage Museum (www.papermuseumofmaine.org) is located at 32 Church Street in Livermore Falls and com-memorates the history of Maine’s Paper Industry. The lore of railroads, logging, lumbering and pa-permaking can be researched at the Paper Mu-seum. Livermore Falls is now a quiet village with an historic downtown. It has the convenience of in town living, while retaining the tranquility of past rural life.
Today, there are approximately 3,500 people living in the 20 square miles that make up Liver-more Falls.
For more area information on Livermore Falls, visit www.lfme.org or call the Livermore Falls Town Of-fi ce at (207) 897-3321.
A Place Rich with Natural Resources and Recreation
Residents and visitors develop an appreciation for the area’s great natural beauty, with our all-season trails, scenic vistas and wide array of recre-ational activities. The Central Androscoggin River Valley offers ample hunting, fi shing, boating, bicy-cling and snowmobiling opportunities. It’s a great area for skiing, snowshoeing and hiking, as well as fun seasonal activities like blueberry, strawberry, raspberry and apple picking.
Our area is rich with the four seasons. We can boast some of the most beautiful summers with the warm weather often starting in April and go-ing through October. Of course the snow could hit the ground any time from October-April, which makes our area ideal for winter enthusiasts as well. When the days become warm and sunny, but nights still hold the shards of winter, we have the short season of making maple syrup, made all the sweeter by the promise of spring. The crisp fall air brings the peak of fall foliage color, usu-ally during the beginning of October and lasts about three weeks. Our valley is lined with quiet country roads, orchard-dotted hills, low, spruce-fi r clad mountains, glacial ponds and countless cool brooks.
Home to the Androscoggin River, we have an amazing resource right out our front doors.

The swift fl owing, large-volume river not only provides an excellent source of power, but also recreation. During the Industrial Revolution the area became a hotbed of industry, due in large part to this wonderful resource. Like many other communities in America, industry has waned, and though that has created stress to local economies, it has opened up many recreational possibilities. Once named one of the ten most polluted rivers in the country, the Androscoggin River has made an incredible comeback and is now so beautiful, clean and serene- you’d swear you were miles away from civilization when you are on it.
Today, the river has countless boat put-ins along its entire length. Once on the endangered species list, bald eagles are now a very common sight in the area. A canoe or kayak ride on most any stretch of the river reveals a world of beauty and tranquility. You may see an eagle harassing an osprey for its catch, or a kingfi sher, fi shing for its brood, sitting on an exposed branch and later, skimming along the water in fl ight, fi ring off its “rat-tat-tat” call. You might see a green heron un-der an overhanging bank, crouched motionless on a branch, watching warily as you fl oat by. On pond-like stretches, great blue herons sit statue-still, stalking fi sh fry in the shallows.
But there is plenty of fi sh to go around! The Androscoggin boasts some of the best bass fi sh-ing in the northeast! For the fl y fi sherman who wants a real challenge, wily brown trout lurk in the riffl es. You may see a group of children fi shing with worms below Riley Dam, and on the other end of the spectrum you might see a fl y-fi shing class being conducted by LL Bean near Pine Island.
Our Chamber of Commerce has partnered with the Androscoggin Land Trust and local busi-nesses to develop maps of our region that high-light trails, open space, and access points to the Androscoggin River and our numerous ponds. See page 22 for some of the area’s recreation locations.
For more information or to acquire a map on where to fi nd recreation areas along the Andro-scoggin River, call the Androscoggin Land Trust at (207)782-2302 or visit www.androscogginland-trust.org.
The natural wonder that is the Androscoggin River is an untapped treasure waiting to be dis-covered.
A Place Rich with Agriculture and Artisans
For generations, this valley was known as apple and dairy country and there is still ample evidence of the area’s agricultural roots. As you explore the valley, you will pass pastures with livestock, hay and corn fi elds, orchards, and farms specializing in crops such as potatoes, pump-kins, apples and strawberries. During the spring, you can see many maple trees tapped for the season, with buckets ready to capture the sweetness that becomes Maine maple syrup. Roadside stands offer fresh produce, eggs, dairy products, honey, maple syrup, fl owers, herbs, craft items and much more.
Check out the list of businesses that offer locally grown and pick-your-own berries, fruits and other Maine- made products on page 31. Check out our calendar of events on page 9 as well to see what specifi c opportunities may be available for you to experience with our locally grown and crafted goods.
While we have all that we need right here in our communities, if you desire larger big box style stores or outlet malls, they are only a short drive away: Farmington to the north, Augusta to the east, and Lewiston-Auburn, Freeport and Port-land to the south. Major cultural and sporting events are also within easy reach from our area.

THE ANDROSCOGGIN RIVER
(Section descriptions are provided by the An-droscoggin Watershed Council, Androscoggin Land Trust, and Chisholm Trails.)
The Androscoggin River fl ows 177 miles from Umbagog Lake at the Maine-New Hampshire border to Merrymeeting Bay where it joins the Kennebec River. Dropping over 1,200 feet in ele-vation from its headwaters, the Androscoggin has an average descent of eight feet per mile.
For thousands of years, Native Americans made a sustainable existence along the Andro-scoggin and its watershed. The Anasagunticooks would migrate from the headwaters to the sea, raising crops and catching the abundant fi sh that populated the river, and developing village areas as key points. In fact, the Canton Point was once the largest Native American village in of New England.
Starting in the 19th century, the Androscog-gin provided power for a multitude of mills and factories that were located on its banks. Conse-quently, the river also bore the brunt of industri-alization. By the middle of the 20th century, the Androscoggin was named one of the ten most polluted rivers in the United States.
With the leadership of Androscoggin River na-tive Senator Edmund Muskie, and his authoring of the Clean Water Act, the Androscoggin has made an incredible comeback. Public and pri-
vate efforts have improved the water quality of the river and have led to countless boating ac-cess points along its length. Recreational oppor-tunities feature wildlife watching and some of the best bass fi shing in the northeast. A paddle along almost any stretch of the river reveals a world of beauty, wildlife and tranquility dotted with his-toric villages.
Paddling the Androscoggin RiverThere are multiple access points for boaters on the river, including both trailer boat launches and hand-carry put-ins for canoeists and kay-akers. Those traveling downstream through the region shown on this map must portage or trans-port their boats around four dams. The only rap-ids (Class 2+) are found in the lowermost stretch of the river midway between the Foundry Road access and the take out at Twin Bridges (Route 219), although there is some quick water in the stretch between Pine Island and the Otis Mill take-out.
Dixfi eld River Access (Dixfi eld)This hand-carry site in Dixfi eld allows paddlers to experience the full stretch of river in Canton and makes an ideal starting point for a day trip down-stream to Riley Dam. If you choose you can por-tage around the dam. The put-in can be accessed from Canton Point Road roughly 2 miles west of the Canton–Dixfi eld town line. The total paddle distance from Dixfi eld to Riley is about 12 miles. This is a little-paddled section of the river, moving through corn and potato fi elds, hardwood-lined banks and back.
Recreation16 - 19Oxford County Fair @ Oxford, MaineLivestock shows, animal pull events, midway, crafts, exhibits, and a new harness race track.
18 - 20New Portland Lion’s Fair @ N. New Port-land, MaineMidway, exhibit hall, animal and me-chanical pulling, crafts, livestock exhibits, woodsmen day, stage shows.

State of Maine—Trailered Access (Canton)This is the only boat launch in the region that pro-vides access for boat trailers to the river. Follow Route 140 approximately 3.5 miles from Canton Village and turn right onto Dorey Road to reach the boat launch and parking area.
Riley Dam Access (Canton/Jay)Short portage trails on the river’s left bank pro-vide access upstream and downstream from Riley Dam. A parking area at the end of a gravel drive is located on the south side of School Street (Route 140) just over three miles from the junction of Routes 140 and 4/17 in Jay. The total paddle dis-tance from Riley to Otis Mill is a little over 5 miles.
Pine Island/Verso Paper Corp. Access (Jay)Pine Island provides upstream and downstream hand-carry access with portage trails around Jay Dam. From Route 4/17 in Jay, follow signs for the Verso Paper Corp. Mill, cross the Androscoggin on POW Remembrance Bridge (Riley Road), and take the first right down a short gravel access road. After the Pine Island River access, there is no pub-lic access to the river upstream of the Livermore Falls Dam. Paddlers wishing to continue down-stream must transport their boats downstream of the Livermore Falls Dam.
Otis Mill Access (Jay) Informal access on the river’s left bank at the his-toric Otis Mill provides a take-out point for down-stream paddlers needing to portage around Otis Dam. Located off of Mill Street in Jay.
Twin Bridges (Livermore Falls)Silver maples and other hardwoods line the river here. No bridges or nearby roads make this piece of the Androscoggin one of the most peaceful. Two sets of rapids are midway down, not haz-ardous, but take some boat control to maneuver through successfully. Warning: On the river right downstream of the Twin Bridges there is a substantial ledge drop rapid. Take out on the island and portage around rapids.
Foundry Road Access (Livermore Falls)This hand-carry site provides paddlers access to a peaceful, unbroken stretch of the river. After crossing the Androscoggin on Route 4 North, turn right at the first traffic light onto Main Street in Livermore Falls. Continue straight at the 90 degree turn and follow Foundry Road and travel approximately 0.3 miles to the signed put-in. An alternative hand-carry site is located on the op-posite bank on River Road in Livermore.

WALKING TRAILS, PARKS & FIELDSA network of short trails linked to multi-use trail corridors provide numerous hiking opportunities and connect the region’s communities to one an-other and the Androscoggin. Community-driven efforts led by groups like Chisholm Trails are helping to create new trails that further connect schools and downtown villages to open spaces along the river.
9 Foundry Trail, Livermore FallsThis easy, paved, multi-use trail begins at Bridge Street off Rt. 4 Northbound, immediately after the bridge (Gazebo Park) and ends at Shuy Corner, near the junction of Rts. 133 and 17. This newer trail will follow the Androscoggin River along Foundry Road through the historic birthplace of the industrial revolution in the Androscoggin Valley. Though all the buildings are gone, this is where Alvin Record built the fi rst pulp and paper mill in Maine.

6 Spruce Mountain Ski SlopeSpruce Mountain Ski Slope in Jay is located right on the banks of the Androscoggin River, and is a community focal point for winter recreation. The affordable 11-trail ski area originally began in the 1950s as a ski club for interested winter enthusi-asts. It opened as a public mountain in 1960 and is still largely maintained by volunteers from the communities of Jay, Livermore, and Livermore Falls. It’s a blast from the past, as you rise 300 ver-tical feet to the summit of the mountain via three rope tow lifts. Back in the day, the volunteer ski club worked with the local paper company across the river, the Otis Falls Mill, to wire some of its hy-droelectricity to the mountain to power the lights and rope tows. Later snow making was added to the list of modern changes. The mountain offers ski classes for all ages. Enjoy a night of skiing un-der the lights, or take a jaunt around the cross-country ski trails that traverse the mountainside to the north. Directions: Ski Slope Road, Jay (enter from the Livermore end of the Rt. 4 bridge)Hours: Visit www.sprucemountain.org or call (207) 897-4090.
SNOWMOBILE AND ATV TRAILSMiles of interconnecting trails in the central An-droscoggin River Valley allow riders to traverse and explore the entire region, and travel far be-yond its borders in both summer and winter. Lo-cal snowmobile and ATV clubs contribute hun-dreds of volunteer hours to maintain these trails, most of which are on private land. Contact one of the clubs below for information about trails, maps, trail conditions, membership and volunteer opportunities.

DInvesting in Our Future
The MaineDOT will be reconstructing Route 4 & 17 (Main Street) in Jay in 2015 and 2016. The project begins at Pineau Street and extends northerly 1.25 miles to 0.10 of a mile southerly of Tweedie Street. The contract for the project was awarded to R.J Grondin & Sons from Gorham, Maine for a bid price of $6,070,277.50. The entire cost of the project including design, right of way and inspection will be over $7,000,000.
Work began on the project the week of Janu-ary 12th, with project signing and the clearing of trees to facilitate the relocation of utility poles. This relocation has been over the winter and should be completed this spring. The construc-tion of the road will begin the fi rst of May 2015, weather permitting. The project will be broken down into three sections. The fi rst section will in-clude the northern most end of the project from just south of Tweedie Street to Ludden Drive. This work is anticipated to take place from May 2015 to September 2015. The second section of the project will be from Ludden Drive to Ouellette Street which will run somewhat concurrent with the fi rst section from May 2015 to October 2015. Work will begin with installation of the water and sewer utilities and storm drainage. Retaining walls will also be constructed across from Ludden Drive. Once all of the utility and drainage work is complete the existing road and sidewalks will be excavated, new gravel placed, curbs, guardrail, is-lands, entrances and sidewalks will be construct-ed along with the placement of base pavement and temporary pavement markings in these two sections. In the fall of 2015 the contractor plans to
install two major culverts in the third section near the Jay fi re station as well. The remaining work on the third section will be from Ouellette Street to Pineau Street that will begin in the Spring of 2016 and be completed by October 2016. This work will include the same work items as in sec-tion one and two and will also include returning to section one and two to complete fi nal surface paving, landscaping and pavement markings.
Weekly progress meeting information will be made available to the Town of Jay and Cham-ber from the project’s MaineDOT representative Shane Amoroso. The project’s fi eld offi ce is locat-ed on the project at old Town of Jay town offi ces across from the fi re station.
Other projects in the Jay, Livermore, Liver-more Falls and surrounding area for 2015 – 2017 were recently released by the MaineDOT in its 2015/2016/2017 Work Plan. These projects in-clude Light Capital Paving projects in 2015 on segments of the following roads: Route 140 & 133, Riley Road, Maxwell Road, and Crash Road in Jay – Route 108, Church Street and Crash Road in Liver-more – Route 17 (Park and Depot Streets), Route 133 and Church Street in Livermore Falls – Route 117 (North Parish Road), Center Bridge Road and Route 117 Spur (Weston Road) in Turner. This is a total of 23.78 miles, at an estimated cost of $1,041,000. Another project slated for Livermore Falls is a Bicycle – Pedestrian Trail, beginning at Foundry Road extending northerly 0.26 of a mile to an existing sidewalk that is scheduled for construction in 2015 at an estimated cost of $280,000.
