The Town of Vassalboro
The farms and villages of Vassalboro have seen a broad range of endeavors, agricultural, industrial and academic. Two railroads – the Wiscasset, Waterville & Farmington and the Maine Central – had stations in Vassalboro, making it possible to ship hay and farm produce to markets as far as Portland and Boston.
In many parts of the Town, water-powered mills ground grain and turned native wood into lumber and a range of items for farms, mills and homes. The latest and largest, in North Vassalboro, produced woolen fabrics.

The
Oak Grove School was a landmark in secondary education for a century and
a half, and after Waterville’s Coburn Classical Institute burned, it
found a new home in Oak Grove’s imposing Vassalboro buildings. The
campus now serves as the home of the Maine State Police Academy.
