Poland Spring Resort - Maine Sightseeing
There are lots of fun things to do all around Poland
Spring. Enjoy your favorite outdoor activity from golf to leisurely hiking
trails here or linger awhile in our quaint Maine villages.
Drive to the coast or shop L. L.
Bean and the Freeport outlets only 35 minutes away. Make it a point to visit

Visit the Gems
of Route 26
 Route 26 is the path that horse drawn
carriages traveled from Portland to Canada.... today it
still is the best way to travel to Quebec. On the road you
have an opportunity to enjoy the "Gems of Route 26." The
Maine Wildlife Park, where you can see moose and bear in their
natural habitat;
Shaker Village, the only active Shaker
Community in America; Poland Spring, home of Poland Spring
Water, Resort, Golf Course, and 2 Museums on the National
Register of Historic Places; and McLaughlin Gardens, also on
the National Register.

Today
Sabbathday Lake is the only active Shaker Community.
We still strive to live a life of work and worship,
fulfilling the motto of our founder, Mother Ann, to
"put our hands to work and hearts to God." The
Community presently consists of eighteen buildings
located on 1,800 acres of land. |
