Lewiston grew up along the Androscoggin River, where old brick mills once made cloth and shoes. Today it is a friendly city known for its schools and its rich mix of cultures.
You can walk the riverside paths, see the tall towers of the Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul, and cheer at a local hockey game.
Big brick mill buildings line the river and tell the story of workers who made cloth long ago. Many are now shops, offices, and museums.
The city has green riverside parks where families picnic and bike. In summer you can watch the water rush over the falls.
