The century of progress pictured here is but half the story that began when Samuel Batchelder’s imagination sparked at the sight of a natural 47-foot drop in the flow of the S**o River. A textile dynasty followed — along with a large helping of social change. Museum walking tours are currently available for online booking, along with videos and other resources.

Downtown Biddeford seems to have a store, place, or spot for nearly every taste, mood, or need. For sheer elegance, I suggest WOOVEN. At 160 Main Street, it’s close enough to City Hall to hear the hourly chimes from the clock tower. When done here, an appropriate follow-up awaits a short block away in a visit to the Lincoln Hotel.

Flourish-Arts at 140 Main Street (the old Woolworths) self describes a welcoming space for community to connect, create, dance, listen to music, and so much more. The artisan shop is yet another uncommon adventure.

Maine’s youngest (and most forward-looking) city, Biddeford, is proudly characterized by some fairly old stuff! In front of City Hall, 1865/1905, is the Thatcher Hotel which dates back to the adjacent Pepperell Mill complex and the mid-1800s. Amidst it all is a vibrant community that embraces diversity as it redefines it for the future.
