Which Towns Down the Kennebec From Augusta Do We Serve?

- Sidney, MESidney shares Messalonskee Lake, about nine miles long, with Oakland and Belgrade, and the New England Music Camp, founded in 1937, sits on 200 acres along the lake's eastern side. On West River Road the Powers House, built about 1770, is an important late Colonial house for the region.
