Other Interesting information

There are numerous canoe livery places in Fryeburg and in Brownfield; you can either rent all the gear you need or bring your own boats and use these companies for livery. The Saco is not to be trifled with, however, and it can get very crowded in the summer. It's wise to do some research and plan your trip carefully, according to Henry Neddenriep, head river-runner with the Saco River Recreational Council.

If you want to hunt or fish, get all the information on the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife Web site. You can even get a hunting or fishing license online.

Fryeburg Library:

Across from the Village Variety, the Fryeburg Library sits quietly in a row of small storefronts and offices, with headstones from the town cemetery peeking out between the buildings. If you're there during library hours, check out the Mulford Memorial Room. Clarence Edward Mulford, a long-time Fryeburg resident, was the author of the Hopalong Cassidy tales, the cowboy hero immortalized in such titles as "Cottonwood Gulch," "The Round Up" and "The Man from Bar 20."

Fryeburg Academy:

Fryeburg Academy is a comprehensive secondary school dedicated to meeting the needs of all its students. We offer a diverse curriculum which includes challenging college preparatory courses, pre-vocational courses and support for special needs.

Fryeburg Fair:

It was a chilly day in March of 1851 when a few local farmers and merchants got together and decided to show off their produce, cattle and wares to the community. Since those humble beginnings, Fryeburg Fair has grown to become Maine's largest agricultural fair complete with six days of harness racing, a farm museum second to none, the world's largest steer and oxen show and a reputation known throughout North America.
