Town of Monmouth

Monmouth is a town in Kennebec County, settled in 1775 and incorporated on January 20, 1792 from Wales Plantation. It later set off land to Winthrop (1813) and Wales (1855).

Part of the Plymouth Patent, it was home to Revolutionary War General Henry Dearborn.

Named for the Revolutionary War Battle of Monmouth in which Dearborn took part, the town has an abundance of access to Cobbosseecontee, Annabessacook, and Cochnewagen lakes. Many lakeside cottages come to life during the summer months.

Monmouth is home to Highmoor Farm, a part of the University of Maine's agricultural experiment station network.

The Theater at Monmouth, specializing in Elizabethan productions, is a well respected destination. Its home is Cumston Hall, an ornate structure designed by muralist Harry H. Cochrane.
