Road to Down Street

North Bath, Maine, is set on the peninsula surrounded by the Androscoggin and Kennebec Rivers with Merrymeeting Bay at the headland. This glorious peninsula is rich not only in its pristine beauty but also in its dynamic history. In The Road to Down Street, native Nancy Dearborn Lovetere researched the very beginnings of her beloved hometown, from its seventeenth-century roots to its evolution as a thriving rural community with farms, shipyards, mills, tanneries, blacksmith shops, lively Yankee characters, and more.
