Augusta is Maine’s state capital, set along the Kennebec River in the center of the state. State government, healthcare at MaineGeneral Medical Center and retail and professional services form the core of the local economy, and the University of Maine at Augusta has its main campus here. The city’s history reaches back to the 17th-century Cushnoc trading post, and the Old Fort Western, built in 1754, still stands on the riverbank.
Augusta is about an hour from Portland and roughly three hours from Boston by car, and Augusta State Airport sits on a hill just across the river from downtown, among the most convenient airports to a state capitol in New England. Flying private suits legislators, lobbyists, consultants and others with business at the State House, and it gives easy access to the Belgrade Lakes, the Kennebec Valley and the coast. Visitors tour the Maine State Museum, explore Old Fort Western, fish and boat on the lakes and enjoy riverfront dining in Hallowell.

Things to do in Augusta
When to go. Summer is the best time to visit Augusta, with warm days for boating on the Belgrade Lakes and outdoor dining in Hallowell. Fall foliage peaks in early October across the Kennebec Valley. The legislature typically meets from January into spring, bringing more business travel. Winters are long, cold and snowy, and spring brings mud season and high water on the Kennebec.
