Look forward to crisp, white winters atop a snowmobile or skis, ice fishing on nearby lakes and ponds, etching figure eights into virgin ice. Awake with the spring, walking a lush golf course or biking back roads. Summer brings long days of sunshine tempered with cool breezes, when an evening walk may lead you past a gazebo where a small brass band entertains. Autumn in the mountains of Maine is golden, a profusion of color with evergreens standing sentinel.

Farmington, the county seat, is home to the University of Maine at Farmington, a healthy core of businesses, and a public school system large enough to offer specialized educational programs and small enough to make your child feel at home.

Franklin Memorial Hospital is the centerpiece of a health care community focused on wellness. Emergency services, long-term care facilities, support groups branch out from Farmington.

Beneath the courthouse clock tower, government and legal professionals serve their hometowns. A newly-built State of Maine Regional Office Center stands across the street, next to a park built in honor of Patriotism.

The arts flourish in Franklin County, where local color might mean a hand-pieced quilt or hand-dyed wool. Music, theatre, dance are all regular occurrences, often in buildings whose architecture is an art form in itself.

Events celebrating Maine life abound, from festivals for local foods to fairs for the farmers who grow them.
