Currently living in Richmond Va, I sure do miss my hometown!  From a hearty breakfast at Charrier''s, a high school baseball game at Memorial Field or paddling a canoe around Lake Wesserunset, I sure do look forward to visiting my friends, family and Skowhegan in June.

First of all I love Maine.  I love being outside and the outdoors.  My friend lives in Skowhegan and has told me many great things.  Like going four-wheeling to snowmobiling to going for 8 hour hikes.  I plan on visiting Skowhegan soon either in the winter or early summer.  Im looking forward to go White Water Rafting in the Kennebec River or going hiking at Lake George regional park.  Pictures and personal experiences make me want to visit Skowhegan.  Being of indian descent, i want to also check out the Skowhegan indian statue.  I have also been following Skowhegans Field Hockey team and they are amazing.  I want to go look for moose since there aren''t any in CT.  I also want to try deer steak(venicen) because it sounds really good.  I have been campin at Moosehead Lake but i want to visit Skowhegan more.  The people in general are really friendly except for this one time I got punched in the stomach by this girl from skowhegan for no reason.  We made up and still speak but its a moment i''ll never forget.   My friend Fernando and I will come up soon to go hunting.  Overall the people and places i know from skowhegan, maine are awsome and it is the next destination i''m traveling too.

My son did a paper recently about his great-grandfather.   All I really know about him (my grandfather) concerning his life in Skowhegan is that supposedly somewhere near there his father possibly started a church there.  I looked at your site but found little.  Perhaps someday my son and I will travel there and see for ourselves.  However looking at your site here on the web broght us both a little closer to him.  His name was Chester B. Taylor.  I have no idea his father''s name.

I am looking for Adrian Egan or any of the Egan clan.  He has a brother by the name of Micha, a mom Sue (remarried) and a dad by the name of Jim (i think) Egan.  I dated Adrian when he was in the Marines at Quantico, VA in the early 90''s.  I lost touch for years and then reconnected in the late 90''s ... just to lose touch again.

His roots are in Skowhegan, ME and I am almost sure his mom and dad still reside there.  If anyone has any information on how I can reconnect to an old friend to say hello and catch up, I''d greatly appreciate it.

I was born and raised in Skowhegan and I still have family there.  I visit as often as I can from where I live in South central PA.  If I could I would move back in a heart beat.  I think that Skowhegan is a great place to raise my children because it is a quiet community and I love the surrounding area towns.  I just cannot express in words on how much I miss living in my hometown of Skowhegan, Maine.  God Bless.

If there is anyone out there who knows anything about this wine company I would be interested i talking with you.  I''ve just bought an old wine bottle and would like some more history on it.

Heard about your town on the recent NPR story.  Very interesting!  Would love to come visit.  Sounds like you have a lot of untapped potential for tourism.  Your scenery sounds fabulous!  The website pictures of downtown are something.  Many small towns in Georgia, where I''m from, have undergone significant updating in recent years, capitalizing on their locations and old buildings.  I hope to come see you some day.

I check in every now and then just to see if the old playground is still on the map. OK, this is really funny, or ironic, depending upon how one looks at it. Skowhegan has better resolution than does Seminole, Florida on Google Earth. Now Skowhegan does not even have 1/20th the population as does Seminole and we are a itty bitty city in Pinellas County. The last update, Skowhegan was still in the blurr, but now it is clearer than ours. I actually wrote Google to inquire why such a non heavy populated area would have better resolution than does a huge area such as Tampa Bay. I have not yet recieved a response, but I am almost thinking,,security, national safety etc. Maybe not. Who knows but it is sure nice to zoom in on my old tromping grounds and places I used to go there. I watched the HBO movie shot there, and I have to be extremely honest about it. From all I remember when I was a child/teenager, the movie actually made the place seem better than I remember. When I left, the shoe shops were dying, the mills mostly all closing, nothing to really keep a young man there except if one was an avid hunter/ fisher / Skier/ Snowmobiler/ or birdwatcher. Well folks, I do not watch birds, snow is for the birds, snowmobiles were ok and fishing for fish that did not bend a 1/2" diameter pole is not what I call fishing. I frequent the Gulf of Mexico, scuba it, the fresh lobster here are as good as Maines and well,,,,The night before New Years Eve a group of us, including my son home from overseas were in t-shirts and shorts fishing the Gulf. And the next morning I had to shovel no snow!

Now in all fairness, the pristeen beauty of Maine in the summer months is in no comparrison to much of anywhere else. And for the most part, the people are the friendliest ( and and some kind of strange, some really strange, now that I think back), but most sensible, down to earth, caring people I have ever seen in my travels around this country. And you do not have to put up with speaking two languages (Spanish), no rattle snakes or very rare at least, no gators where you would like to swim, no sharks in the lakes ( a man not long ago right down the street jumped off his dock in the hot summer to cool off and was sliced in half by a bull shark I still dive though go figure), no really bad spiders as we have, cheaper electric (mine probably runs higher each month than your mortgages, no real water shortages we always have, no idiots running elections such as we have, no home owners insurance crisis as we have and I could keep going but that is that. We here do not enjoy a lot of things you in Skowhegan have, but.......................................... I would not trade a day away from here when your themometer starts to dip anywhere under 50 it is TOO cold for me now. Oh and one more thing, CHRISTMAS TREES! Oh well we decorate our palm trees at least. Anyway I honestly understand why so many of you endure the harshest of place in trade for the most beautiful of place for a few short months, but for me,,, its Margaritaville... Keep those booties warn.

Regards, Donnie Breingan

With the beautiful scenery, historical buildings and attractions listed on the "Offical Webpage for Skowhegan", I would think you would have included some history and/or photographs about some of the historical churches in your part of the country.  Isn''t there a church in your general area that has a world renouned pipe organ that is one of the oldest in America?  If this is so, why wouldn''t you have that information on your "Places of Interest"?

Nice to see that Skowhegan still has a guestbook. I remember when Kitty had the frist one for the town. I visit every year from AZ. Skowhegan was a great town to grow up in and I still miss it. Will be coming back for a class reunion this summer.

Hello!
I''m originally from Norton, Virginia (a small mountain town between Kentucky and Tennessee).  I live in San Diego currently (I''m in the Navy), but I''m planning on coming to your town to visit with a friend.  Your town looks absolutely beautiful from what I''ve seen in pictures.  I''m most definitely looking forward to visiting this Spring!!!
