Family-Friendly Summer Activities in Augusta and Surrounding Areas
It's summer, and we know what that means! It's time to enjoy fun in the sun around Augusta. There's just so much to see, with everything from museums to historic parks to campgrounds. Fun for the family is just around the corner, and our real estate agents want to make it even easier for you to find.
Let's take a closer look at just a few of the unforgettable sights around Augusta:
- Old Fort Western – 16 Cony Street, Augusta, ME 04330
Old Fort Western is a fully reconstructed historical fort that includes the original 1754 garrison building, the 1921 blockhouses, and the 1988 watch boxes. Even the palisade has been completely reconstructed based on its 1916 structure and appearance. There are full tours and special events every month throughout the season! - The Colonial Theater – 139 Water Street, Augusta, ME 04330
The Colonial Theater is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. An iconic part of Augusta since back in 1913, it was a mainstay for the entire Kennebec Valley region until 1969. In its heyday, it hosted silent films and Vaudeville acts. Restored in the 1990s, it is now conserved by a nonprofit led by Augusta locals. - Mill Park – 1 Northern Avenue, Augusta, ME, 04430
Mill Park is Augusta's central municipal park and a keystone of the city's social calendar throughout the year. As a place beloved by everyone from dog lovers to high school football fans, there is always something going on. There are trails, ball courts, and great river views. You can even see the historic Old Mill on the opposite bank. - Kennebec River Rail Trail – See Website for Location Information in Augusta, ME 04430
Kennebec River Rail Trail is a terrific way to stretch your legs, enjoy the great outdoors, and connect with a vital part of local history. As the name suggests, the Rail Trail follows the path of a historic rail line. In recent years, it's been completely refurbished with paved paths. It's popular for walking, cycling, running, and even skating. - Augusta Farmers Market – 1 Water Street, Augusta, ME 04430
Augusta Farmers Market is known for both its Summer Market, available now, and its Winter Market. It's no surprise that both of them take place right in Augusta's beloved Mill Park. You can drop in on Tuesdays to find local, fresh, top-quality produce and farm goods. The majority of it is brought in from within fifty miles! - Vaughan Woods & Historic Homestead– See Website for Location Information in Hallowell, ME 04430
Vaughan Woods & Historic Homestead is a nonprofit nature reserve that centers around a historic house museum. Another entry in the National Register of Historic Places, it gives you a chance to step back into a world of art and nature exactly as it was. The land is also crisscrossed by carefully kept multi-use trails. - Viles Arboretum – 153 Hospital Street, Augusta, ME 04330
Viles Arboretum is Augusta's home-grown hub for both environmental education and outdoor recreation. With acres of forested land to explore, much of it is accessible to dogs as long as they remain on a leash. It's free to access 365 days a year!
