Visiting Augusta, ME User Rating 4.5 rating By Anonymous ( May 24, 2010) Augusta, ME is a visual mixture of old and new woven together on a beautiful landscape. Augusta was developed from a frontier existence and has evolved into the bustling city it is today. The industries along the river remind me of the rivers edge along the Mississippi, Tennessee ...Read More , Chattahoochee River and many others.

Many buildings in Augusta retain the early personality of Augusta standing among the more recent landscapes. I adore the café in the Vickery which was once Vickery Hill Publishing House. Publishing magazines was a mainstay of Augusta, ME back in the early part of the 20th century. The Vickery is a delightful attraction to visit and an interesting building to take a look at. By the way, The Children's Museum is located in the Vickery; the city is filled with shops and museums. Visit Boothby Rail Village, the adult tickets sell for about $10. See a collection of antique rail cars, and visit the old State House, reminding you of a once developing nation, the architecture is quite eloquent.

The environment in Augusta is clean and uncomplicated, while this beautiful landscape is made for hiking and nature walks. Walking through a park on a beautiful afternoon is so relaxing, almost like a story book. The parks in the afternoon are beautiful sanctuaries, I just can't say enough about the scenery in Augusta.
