The town of Skowhegan was settled in 1773. With the Kennebec River running through it has had an attraction for many years. From the native peoples who used this as a waypoint during their annual migrations from Moosehead Lake to their summer fishing grounds on the coast. It was a place to catch fish and grow crops.
Later, Skowhegan was the birthplace of Abner Coburn, Maine’s 30th governor, and Margret Chase Smith. Smith became the first woman to serve in both the House and Senate representing Maine in Washington.
Skowhegan is now a modern shopping, manufacturing, and recreational area. The Skowhegan State Fair, The Nation’s oldest continuously running agricultural fair. Organized in 1818, two years before Maine even became a state. And it is also my birthplace.
