Introduction
Lincoln County, Maine, is located partly at the western end of the Waldo Patent and otherwise in the vicinity of the Atlantic Ocean, bounded by Knox County to the east, Sagadahoc County to the west, Kennebec County to the northwest, and Waldo County to the northeast. The county seat of Lincoln County is the community of Wiscasset, and much of the county is traversed by way of United States Route 1 along the Atlantic Ocean. On the eastern edge of the county is the Town of Waldoboro, descending from the Waldo Patent and home to the historic Waldoboro Inn, the Waldoborough Historical Society, and the Recycleart sculpture museum.
West of Waldoboro
To the west of the Town of Waldoboro and of the Waldo Patent, Lincoln County is also home to Damariscotta and Newcastle in the central portion of the county on either side of the Damariscotta River, with the Jan Kilburn Art Studio representing the eastern (Damariscotta) side while the Newcastle-Damariscotta Station is representative of the western (Newcastle) side of the community. Further south along the Damariscotta are the Frances Perkins National Monument on the west side and the Chapin Studio Gallery at Stoneridge and the Hawks House Inn on the east side.
The Edgecomb area, though nowhere near the true definition of the Down East region, is home to the Down East Gallery, with the Wiscasset community to the west serving as home to the Sylvan, Wiscasset Bay, and Maine Art Galleries as well as the Museum in the Streets, Castle Tucker, the Powder House, the Nickels-Sortwell House, and the Lincoln County Museum, with a welcome sign at the southern end along U.S. Route 1. Along Route 218, the Wiscasset, Waterville, and Farmington Railway Museum is located in the southern part of the Town of Alna.
