Topsham Maine Real Estate

Overview of Topsham Maine

Topsham is located in Midcoast Maine along Merrymeeting Bay, only moments from Brunswick and the Atlantic Ocean. During the Industrial Revolution, the town was booming, as many factories distributed items such as watches, pitchforks, lumber, and even tobacco. Since then town has grown into the thriving community it is today, with classic colonial homes along the tide estuaries and sprawling pastures. MyMaineProperty.com offers great prices on Midcoast homes. Check out our new website to start your search for the perfect property.

Only 30 minutes from downtown, Bailey Island is just a stone’s throw away from your home in Topsham. Those traveling down Route 24 along Harpswell peninsula will encounter quintessential Maine scenes, as lobster boats navigate the Merriconeag Sound. The essence of Maine can be most enjoyed as you’re lead across the Bailey Island Bridge, (a substantial landmark in and of itself). The rocky coast around the Atlantic Ocean features thriving tide pools and seaweed that dances with the water. Those lucky enough to live in such a place are considered to be lucky enough.

Those looking to learn more about Topsham and its past are encouraged to visit the Pejepscot Historical Society. Covering the history of Brunswick, Harpswell, as well as Topsham, the Society’s mission is to “promote and augment an understanding and appreciation of the history of the Pejepscot region.” In operation since 1888, it is one of the oldest historical leagues within the State of Maine. Visitors and residents are welcome to come, and learn from the Society’s extensive research, as well as enjoy all of the preserved documents, photographs, and furniture.
