Abstract

The town of Harpswell has three villages within it which makes it an interesting place. Add to that the superlative, the longest coastline of a Maine town, and the fact that it holds the title of the community with the oldest median age residents. This is a retirement community and fishing village. These facts make it difficult to make all community members happy, but it is a beautiful place, striving to make life affordable and maintain the traditions of the community.
