Things To Do

The Wedding Website of Eva Mrak-Blumberg and Dev Mauch

Welcome to Norway, Maine! A few fun facts about this town: Originally called Rustfield, it was renamed Norway due to a clerical error, not Scandinavian settlers. Townspeople intended to name the town "Norage" (meaning "falls" in Abenaki), but a clerical error at the state level resulted in "Norway". (Ha! Mainers) In 1878, A.M. Dunham began producing snowshoes, making the town a hub for manufacturing in North America. The Tubbs Snowshoe Company also originated here in 1906. Situated in Western Maine (Oxford County), known for its mountainous terrain and proximity to several lakes, including Lake Pennesseewassee. The population is approximately 5,000–5,200 residents. Why we love it: Not only did we choose this location because it housed our dream venue--we've been coming to this town for years and falling in love with it each time! We love the historic downtown, small business shops on main street, and beautiful hiking and skiing nearby. We think you'll fall in love with it too.

Boomers
