What it’s like
The place. Lisbon Falls is a small Maine community where most homes are lived in by their owners, and household incomes run a little above the county's. Residents tend to be somewhat older than in many places, and a four-year degree is held by a minority of adults. Winters are long and cold, with a great deal of snow, and summers are comfortably warm.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by shops, manufacturing and the building trades. Across Androscoggin County, the largest workplaces include Central Maine Medical Center, Lewiston Public Schools and Bates College. Commutes are fairly long, and only a small number of people work from home.
Things to do. The Sabattus River and the Little River run in or beside town, and the Cathance River is a short drive away. For museums, the Bowdoin College Museum of Art and the Bates College Museum of Art are both a short drive away, while the Portland Museum of Art takes a longer drive.
