Unity,
Maine
|
|
Unity is a town of fewer than
2000 residents,
but both its location and resources make it a desireable place to live
and to visit. Unity is easily accessed from I 95, is 20 minutes
from
Waterville, the home of Colby College, and 25 minutes from the Central
Maine Coast. Bangor and Augusta are both 40 away - The Bangor
Airport
is just a 30 minute drive.
There is much to do in Unity itself, including:
boating,
hiking on well maintained trails, cycling, fishing and hunting and
attending
one of the many performances at the Unity Community Theater. Even in
the
height of the Summer season, Unity remains quiet and unspoiled and is a
relaxing haven for those who wish to escape more developed and
expensive
tourist locations and see the "real Maine". |
 |
Summer and Fall in Unity are great for
swimming, boating,
fishing, cycling and hiking. A golf course is nearby. |
| At Unity's recreation facility
"The Field
of Dreams", a pleasant jogging/walking path surrounds groomed ball
fields,
a playground and a picnic area, all with a view of Lake Winnecook,
"Unity
Pond". Unity
Centre For The Performing Arts, a 240 seat theatre created from an
old barn, has a state of the art sound system and an eclectic schedule
that includes folk music, classical ensembles, and plays |
 |
As of 1998, Unity is the permanent home
of MOFGA
the Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association and the popular
Commonground
Fair. |
| Unity is home to a small green college which
specializes
in environmental studies. In winter you can cross-country ski on the
trails
at Unity
College. Snow mobiling and ice fish are also popular sports.
It's also ok
to sit by the wood stove in the parlor, drink hot cocoa and read or
watch
a movie. |
