Located in Cumberland County, this town has the distinction of having the last active Shaker community in the United States! That in itself says something about the area’s geography and the sense of peace when you visit here. One could say that New Gloucester offers the best of both worlds as it is rural yet is just outside some of Maine’s major metropolitan areas as well as near to the Atlantic coast. With a wide variety of places to see and visit, your stop here will be one to remember and could very well become one of your favorite stops on Maine’s Pine Tree Trail!
