What it’s like
The place. Greenville is a small community in Piscataquis County, Maine, with an older population than most of the country. Household incomes run below the county's, and the typical home is valued well above what a household earning the town's median income might expect to buy outright. Winters are long and cold, with January the coldest month and plenty of snow and rain through the year, while July brings pleasantly warm days.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in manufacturing and in the building trades. Among the largest workplaces in Greenville are Northern Light CA Dean Hospital, Greenville Public Schools and Hammond Lumber Company. Jobs across the county have slipped slightly over the past year, and unemployment is a little higher than it was a year ago. Almost nobody here works from home.
Things to do. Moosehead Lake, the large lake the town is known for, is a longer drive away, and Lily Bay State Park, a protected area on its shore, is a short drive. Big Squaw Mountain Resort, a ski area, is also a short drive from town. For a longer outing, Gulf Hagas is a protected area known for its gorge and waterfalls, a longer drive away.
