Scenic Cornish, Maine

Did you know that Cornish is considered part of the foothills of New Hampshire's White Mountains? There are several places you can visit in Cornish to view majestic Mount Washington and other nearby peaks. Cornish is one of the towns making up what's called the Sacopee Valley area. The other towns are Baldwin, Hiram, Parsonsfield and Porter. By the way, the word “Sacopee” is derived from Saco and Ossipee, which are the two major rivers that flow along our borders. They and the numerous, nearby lakes and ponds offer great family fun. Our woods are filled with wildlife and offer scenic hiking, biking, XC skiing, hunting and more.

		In the back of Pike Hall you will find the Town Office where you can get more information on the town. The main part of the building is often used for wedding receptions and for other events such as auctions, craft fairs, annual town meetings, etc.
Across the street from Thompson Park, in the center of town, is the picturesque Odd Fellows Hall. In the summer, it is here where you will find great bargains on clothing and other interesting items during the C.U.C.C. Bargain Days.
We have a pretty healthy stock of elusive wildlife. Every once in a while they get bold enough to present themselves for a rare photo shoot.		This picture was taken along the Little River which meanders through town. In the old days, the townfolks used to take pleasure in iceskating its icy surface. It is the power source for the water wheel on the Village Jewelers shop.
