Richmond blends riverfront living with easy access to regional hubs, set along the Kennebec River in Sagadahoc County. Weekends often start on the water—launch a kayak from the town’s waterfront or ferry across to the wildlife-rich Swan Island, part of the Steve Powell Wildlife Management Area, for trails, birding, and quiet campsites. On warm days, locals cool off at Peacock Beach State Park, a sandy pocket ideal for families. Commuters appreciate quick connections via Route 201 and I‑295 to Augusta and Brunswick, while the historic downtown rewards staying put with a scenic waterfront, seasonal farmers markets, and community events.
Families will find strong support close to home. The Richmond School Department serves students from elementary through high school, with small class sizes and spirited Rams athletics anchoring town pride. The Richmond Public Library offers year-round programming, and the Richmond Area Health Center provides comprehensive primary care. Each summer, neighbors gather for Richmond Days, a parade-and-fireworks tradition that showcases local talent and riverfront fun. Daily needs are easy to meet, and broader shopping and dining sit minutes away in Gardiner and beyond. For municipal services, event calendars, and permits, the Town of Richmond website is a reliable hub.
