About Lincoln

Set along the Penobscot River in central Maine, Lincoln has the relaxed, friendly feel of a classic northern river town. Main Street forms the heart of the community, lined with local businesses, town services, and places to grab a bite, while nearby boat launches make it easy to get out on the water. With Rollins Mountain in the distance and thirteen lakes scattered across the surrounding area, outdoor recreation is never far away. Local history also runs deep here, reflected in the downtown memorial and statue honoring Medal of Honor recipient and Lincoln native Master Sergeant Gary Gordon.

For anyone thinking about relocating, Lincoln serves as a practical hub for the region while keeping a quiet, easygoing pace. You have everyday essentials like groceries, schools, and medical care right in town, paired with quick access to fishing, hiking, and snowmobiling. It offers a comfortable, down-to-earth lifestyle where you can handle your daily errands on Main Street and still spend your afternoons out on the lake.
