Bucksport, Maine, founded in 1764, is a progressive coastal town at the end of Penobscot Bay. Those of us who live and work here are extremely proud of our heritage of hard work and community caring. It’s something we hope you’ll come see for yourself.

Look across our bay, for instance. There you’ll see the stone-hewn beauty of Fort Knox, Maine’s most visited historic site, standing guard over our friendly community.

Take a bird’s eye view of our commercial district and you’ll see a healthy mix of vibrant businesses. A niche-market software designer. A historic film archive. Shops. Eateries. And our flagship industrial complex, Verso Paper Company.

Sail down the bay and meet a faithful group of "Pen Bay Seals" who like to rove in our waters, or watch a bald eagle glide over the horizon.

Whatever you do, make sure you come visit us, soon. Because Bucksport, Maine is too special a place to keep just to ourselves.
