Welcome to Central Aroostook!<\/strong><\/p>\n Central Aroostook include the towns of Caribou, Fort Fairfield, Presque Isle and others. Take a look at the Aroostook River Adventures<\/strong><\/a> page that shows some of the fun ways you can experience this area!<\/p>\n Fort Fairfield: “Our Amish community, which extends into the neighboring community of Easton and across the border into New Brunswick, offers an opportunity to explore their old-world lifestyle. Visitors can capture a glimpse into their industrious world and shop for many handmade crafts, quality furniture and homemade baked goods, preserves and more!” (fortfairfield.org)<\/p>\n “Just outside of Caribou is the Aroostook National Wildlife Refuge<\/a>, which has more than five miles of trails perfect for hiking, snowshoeing or cross-country skiing. The Aroostook Valley Trail<\/a> passes through Caribou on its 28 miles of multi-purpose trails from Presque Isle to New Sweden. An unexpected treasure is the Nylander Museum of Natural History<\/a> where there are delightful displays from the archeology, paleontology and other natural sciences collections. The museum exhibits the collections of Swedish-born naturalist Olof Nylander, who spent years studying the fauna of Aroostook County. The Caribou Historical Society<\/a> is another popular spot with more than 10,000 artifacts on the campus and a replica of an 1860s one-room schoolhouse.” (visitmaine.com)<\/p>\n
