Posted by mainetodo on Monday, February 16 @ 17:05:09 PST
Winter, Spring, Summer & Fall: Waterville is one of central Maine’s best kept secrets. Home to Colby College, residents and visitors alike can find plenty of things to see and do. Located on the campus of Colby College is one of the areas best art museums. Choke full of both contemporary art from well known artist as well as many temporary exhibits from locals and students alike. The museum is free and open to the public and is a great way to spend a Saturday or Sunday afternoon. The museum also has a on-going events schedule that includes lectures, workshops and classes for adults and children. Waterville also has a small downtown area that offers some great restaurants and pubs to check out. Mainely Brews Restaurant and Tavern is the perfect place to hang out with friends. Whether it be inside, where you can enjoy a cozy pub atmosphere, great food and entertainment or take it outside to the patio during the summer months and listen to the music while sipping a cold one under the stars. Either way, this is a great spot to meet up with friends and enjoy
a night out on the town. Another thing to do is to check out what is playing at the Flagship Cinema. With eight screens you will be sure to find something that will appeal the crowd no matter what their age. If you are looking for movies but, not quite the mainstream type, you should check out the Railroad Square Cinema. This alternative cinema brings to Maine some of the best foreign films and was named by Sundance Film Institute as one of twelve cinemas that were included in their “art house project”. During the winter months you can pack up your cross country skis and head over to the newly cut 3.5 miles of trails located just off Quarry Road. These trails are both serene and scenic. Parts of the trail run parallel with Messalonskee Stream which makes for some pretty views and solitude. This new trail system is going to be eventually expanded but, for now, the trails are groomed and ready to go.
