About Gorham, Maine

Southern Maine is home to many places of natural beauty. Among these hidden treasures are the Gorham campus grounds where you can listen to live performances or visit the Art Gallery among other things. Afterwards you can visit Babb’s Covered Bridge- built in 1864 but still considered one of Maine’s oldest bridges today- located between two serene towns called Gorham and Windham.
Gorham has many charming and historic villages. One of these towns is the beautiful North Street Historic District where you will find many restaurants, shops, and homes dating back to the 1800s. This area was added to the National Register of Historic Places because it pays homage to its hometown hero – James Phinney Baxter – who became mayor of Portland after starting his business in Gorham.
