Home to unique attractions and scenic views, Lewiston is located in the Maine Lakes Region alongside the Androscoggin River. Lewiston was founded by French speaking Canadians who immigrated to work textile mills and shoe factories in the early 1800’s. The French influence is still felt today, and can be seen in Lewiston’s Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul, built in 1870. The only Basilica in the state of Maine, the cathedral with rose window was modeled after the grand cathedrals of France. Visit the Gendron Franco Center where there are regular French-themed events. The performing arts also excel at Bates College, Lewiston’s Public Theater and the Midcoast Symphony Orchestra.
