Augusta has been the capital city since 1827, seven years after Maine was admitted to the Union. The region is one of the most beautiful areas of this picturesque state. Dozens of lakes and streams, the great Kennebec River and beautiful rolling forested hills make this a great place to spend a Maine vacation.
