Bayberry Circle Brings 18 Attainable Homes to Rangeley

If you’ve been paying attention to the housing conversation in Franklin County, you already know the story: people want to live and work here, but there’s nowhere for them to live. In Rangeley, that pressure is especially acute. Roughly three-quarters of the town’s housing units sit vacant most of the year—seasonal homes and second homes that do nothing to house the people who keep Rangeley running.

These 10 Hidden Italian Restaurants In Maine Are Local Favorites For Cozy Fall Evenings

Pasta now gets served in a Maine dining room that once sold hardware. I love that swap. Nails and wrenches out, meatballs and chicken parm in. Another spot on this list sits inside a converted mill. Two others feature a fireplace inside. One even makes its own gelato, which feels like a smart move after a big plate of rigatoni.

ND Paper produces first trial roll on Rumford R12

ND Paper produced a first paper roll on the idled R12 machine at its Rumford mill in Maine on November 5, 2026, after several weeks of testing and trials. The trial marks progress towards a potential return to service. It does not establish that regular commercial production has resumed: the company has not announced the grade made during the trial or a timetable for restarting routine production.

This Maine Yarn Shop Has Hundreds Of Choices You Won’t Find At Your Average Craft Store

More than 600 different yarns sit under one roof at this family-run shop. That number made me do a double take. Most big craft chains can’t come close. The shelves go well beyond the usual suspects. Malabrigo, Cascade, and Berroco share space with yarns spun and dyed right here in Maine. I like how local fiber farms get real shelf space next to the famous names.
