 Livermore is a town in Androscoggin County, incorporated on February 28, 1795 from Livermore Plantation.
Livermore is home to the Norlands Living History Center, which provides a live-in experience to those who want to live as early Maine settlers did. A major focus is on the lives of the famous Washburn family that made a significant impact on the state's political, business, and military history. Israel Washburn, Jr. was a member of the U.S. Congress and governor of Maine. Three of his brothers, including Cadwallader, served in Congress as well.
The 1828 Universalist church contains original pews, pulpit, choir chairs, sofa, organ, and offering baskets. The church seats approximately 200 people, and features a high, vaulted ceiling and alter decorated with paintings.
Livermore village fronts on Brettuns Pond at the intersection of Maine Routes 4 and 108 twenty miles north of Auburn.
