Chisholm lines the Androscoggin River as the historic mill village of the Town of Jay, offering a practical base with quick connections across Franklin County and to larger hubs like Farmington and Lewiston. As part of Jay, residents tap into town services and local governance through the Town of Jay. The community blends tidy residential streets with small businesses and recreation spots, all within minutes of Livermore Falls.
Outdoors, you’ll find four-season access: family-friendly downhill and night skiing at the volunteer-run Spruce Mountain Ski Area; multi-use riding and snowmobiling on the Whistle Stop Trail; paddling and wildlife watching a short drive south at Androscoggin Riverlands State Park. Local trailheads, river overlooks, and ballfields keep weekends easy to fill.
Education is anchored by RSU 73, with Spruce Mountain High School and nearby primary and middle schools serving neighborhood streets. Lifelong learning extends to the Jay-Niles Memorial Library, which hosts author talks, children’s programs, and tech help. Seasonal festivals, youth sports through the town’s recreation programs, and volunteer-led ski races create a calendar that feels both active and close-knit.
Whether you’re moving for schools, outdoor access, or a manageable commute, housing options range from classic capes to newer builds. When it’s time to buy or sell, Agent Pronto can connect you with a top real estate agent who knows Chisholm and the surrounding market.
