There are plenty of trails to pick from to help make your adventure different from your prior adventure here. The main trails are well packed for safe running while the narrow side trails have some rocks, roots, and stumps to navigate. Most of the trails are well marked with blazes while some of the side trails need a keen eye to keep on track. Be aware that some of these trails hug residental areas, so please be respectful of boundary lines. There are a few picnic tables that located near the main entrance. Some of these are nestled in wooded areas by themselves to offer a more secluded feel to your picnic lunch. Come and enjoy nature! Taken from www.brunswickme.org By their vote of May 8, 1719, the Pejepscot Proprietors "Granted one thousand acres of land to lay in general commonage." Unlike the village green or town common found in the center of many New England towns, the Brunswick Town Commons was a specific grant from the private lands of the Pejepscot Co., and not from town-owned common and undivided land. Located near the geographic center of town, the Commons has influenced the growth of the Brunswick region. Upon the promise of two hundred acres of land from the Commons, Bowdoin College was established in Brunswick. In the late 1800's the Town appropriated money to plant and cultivate blueberries on the Commons. Granite monuments placed in 1891 by D. E. Campbell, Civil Engineer, marked all angle changes of the boundaries. Monument E marks the south western corner and is located in the Peat Heath. Five more of the historic granite markers are located within the boundaries of the Naval Air Station. In 1905 the Town began a planting and management program for White Pines and Red Oaks. In 1930 Brunswick voted to establish an airport on the Commons and the first aircraft landed in June, 1934. Later known as the Brunswick Municipal Airport, this land was the nucleus of what is now the Brunswick Naval Air Station. Today the Commons provides year-round recreational opportunities for Brunswick citizens and serves as a living laboratory for local elementary school children. The Town Commons Planning Committee oversees the general management of the Commons, but policy decisions are by vote of the Town Council as "successors in office" of Nathaniel Larrabee, Andrew Dunning, and William Stanwood, Selectmen at the time of the Pejepscot Proprietors' grant. The Town recognized the unique status of the Commons in the Town Commons Resolution adopted February 1968, which states, "We, the Selectmen of the Town of Brunswick, being mindful of the history and heritage of our Town; respectful of the inspiring wisdom of the first Planners of our community; and proud of the part they have played in preserving to our use a portion of the lands with which they were so richly endowed knowing full well our later needs in that respect; do declare that the Commons (thousand acres) is an HISTORIC LANDMARK."

I was blown away by the theater, the production value, and the quality of the performers. Any of those actors could have stood on the Broadway stage and fit right in.

I doubt there's a bad seat in the house. The tickets were more expensive than we expected but it was absolutely worth it!

And they are definitely correct. The new library was opened in 2004 and is a wonderful design, both aesthetical pleasant to look at as well as very pragmatic and useful. Lots of natural light and cozy places to sit and a very relaxed and casual atmosphere. The kids department is really cool with all kinds of fun things for the local delinquents to play with and learn from and there are all kinds of programs and events held at the library, The Topsham Library certainly has come a long way.

Today, located in our new 13,000 square foot facility at 25 Foreside Road in Topsham, the Topsham library serves the community as a place to read, to learn, and to meet for all ages and interests."
