New Gloucester blends pastoral beauty with everyday convenience, offering stonewall-lined back roads, historic homesteads, and a friendly village center. Set in Cumberland County, it’s an easy commute to Portland for dining and arts, or to Lewiston and Auburn for work, higher education, and services.
Weekends practically plan themselves. Explore miles of trails, seasonal events, and a working farm at Pineland’s 5,000 acres through Pineland Farms, or step back in time at the still-active Sabbathday Lake Shaker Village with guided tours, workshops, and a serene museum campus. Families love wildlife encounters and educational programs at the nearby Maine Wildlife Park in Gray. In harvest season, locals line up at Thompson’s Orchard for apples, cider, and fresh doughnuts—an autumn tradition you’ll want on your calendar.
Schools are a strong point: RSU 15/Gray–New Gloucester Schools offers a supportive academic environment, robust arts and athletics, and active parent engagement. Beyond the classroom, the New Gloucester Public Library hosts story hours, maker activities, and community events, while the Town of New Gloucester provides year-round recreation programs, trail information, and civic services that make settling in simple.
