This education and textile manufacturing center in upper Kennebec River Valley was founded as a trading post in 1653. Before turning traitor to the American Revolution, Benedict Arnold brought his troops through Waterville (then called Ticonic Falls) in 1775 on their march to Quebec. Chief among the city's industries is the Hutamaki/Chinet company, maker of fine paper dishware. The city's cultural center is on the campus of Colby College, where you will find a fine collection of American works of the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries at the Museum of Art. You can also visit the Redington Museum and Apothecary, a 19th-century drugstore with various historical displays. The Two-Cent Bridge, one of the last toll foot-bridges, crosses the river from Waterville to Winslow.
