Gardiner is an unspoiled, authentic New England community - our beautiful downtown district is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Start here for a memorable visit along Maine's Kennebec - Chaudière trail, the route that Acadians used to find work in New England's factories and mills and settle in our riverfront communities. Home to Pulitzer Prize winning poet E. A. Robinson and renowned author Laura E. Richards, Gardiner is a place where history and progress meet along the Kennebec.
Please come see for yourself why Gardiner is known as Maine's best kept secret, and the jewel of the Capitol region.
