As the second largest city in Maine, Lewiston sees thousands of visitors each year. The city was once home to a major water power entity called Androscoggin Falls, Dam, Lock and Canal Company. Later, Lewiston became a major player in the textile industry because of its mills and department stores.

Now Lewiston is home to several major museums, a handful of prestigious universities, and the main offices for some of America's largest companies. Lewiston holds several noteworthy events each year, including the Liberty Festival, and the Patrick Dempsey Challenge, which is a fundraising event that has brought in more than a million dollars for cancer research since 2009.
