Book Description
Excerpt from History of the Old Towns, Norridgewock and Canaan: Comprising Norridgewock, Canaan, Starks, Skowhegan, and Bloomfield, From Their Early Settlement to the Year 1849; Including a Sketch of the Abnakis Indians The vein of History which runs through that portion of Maine considered in the following pages, presents matter of great value to the Antiquary. The hills and vales now vocal with Agriculture and Business, were, but a few years ago, the sacred haunts of the Red Man. Here he found his most delightful retreats. In the waters that now reflect civilized life, he speared the salmon, floated his frail bark, or bathed his tawny limbs. On the shores he pursued the simple joys and labors of barbarous life, and knew no higher end or aim. Here, too, the hardy pioneer of civilization erected his log hut, and commenced tilling the soil, and preparing it for future generations. The memory of the Indians should be preserved; - the hardships and the early labors of the first settlers should not be forgotten; - the progress of the towns should be noticed, and their present condition should be exhibited.

A Town Built by Ski Bums
Author: Virginia M. Wright
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1684751802
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 279
Book Description
Located 60 country miles from Interstate 95, Carrabassett Valley, Maine doesn’t look like a classic rural New England town. Only a handful of buildings pre-date 1950. Settlement is concentrated in two areas separated by six woodsy miles: “the valley,” with its 1960s A-frames and camps, and “the mountain,” where the Sugarloaf ski resort has built a maze of contemporary condominium and housing developments, along with hotels, restaurants, and boutiques. But with just 673 year-round residents, the town of Carrabassett Valley — not Sugarloaf — owns a Robert Trent Jones Jr.-designed golf course, a 2,000-acre ski-touring and mountain-bike park, an airport, a riverside rail trail, an advanced fitness center with indoor climbing wall and skate park, a handsome modern library, and a park with outdoor swimming pool, tennis courts, and playground. Yet the town’s tax rate has never exceeded $8.40. That’s because Carrabassett Valley doesn’t just look different from other towns; it does things differently. The two dozen ski bums who founded the town in 1972 laid out a vision for an outdoor recreation economy achieved through creative investment, and townspeople have focused unwaveringly on pursuing it ever since. Veteran journalist Virginia M. Wright worked with the Carrabassett Valley History Committee to delve into the surprising history of a town most passersby think is just Sugarloaf. She looks at the early days of when it was created, at how the town's unique approach helped it weather both boom times and down turns. Through it all, the town has become one of New England's premiere outdoor destinations.
