Evening concerts here during the summer are very enjoyable. Just bring a blanket or chairs! Perfect setting along the Kennebec River for listening to music! Kids can play on the grass nearby! Suitable for all ages! This town has wonderful fireworks during the summer for celebrations!

To be surrounded by beautiful objects is a pure joy. When we find art or craft that we truly love and are able to see it, use it, and feel it everyday, we experience that joy. Monkitree offers art and craft from artists in Maine and throughout the United States and Canada.

Historic RIverfront Shopping district designated by the National Park Service in 1980.

Reviewed By quilterlady83 - Ocala, United States

This quaint lil town now has a new quilt shop that is located on the corner. What a great find for Quilters! It’s within walking distance to a parking lot or park along the street. The corner it’s on, has 4 way stop signs vs any street lights so that’s a little challenging. This quilt shop is awesome as is Reny’s nearby and the Raggamuffins Thrift Shop. I noticed the Village Jeweler is no longer there and that’s disappointing. Several places to eat nearby! Shops have front sidewalks. It would be nice to see more shops here.
