Harmony
is a small town located in Central Maine, about 97 miles north of Portland and 196 miles northeast of Boston. As of the 2000 Census, the town of Harmony had a population of 954 residents. It is within an hour’s drive of Bangor and Moosehead Lake. Whatever Harmony might be lacking in size, it makes up for in charm. There are two General Stores in town, including one that also serves as a gas station and a restaurant that serves up a great breakfast. All kinds of outdoor recreational activities are available in the wilderness areas surrounding the town, including some of the best canoeing, kayaking and white water rafting in the state. Other things to do include hiking, fishing and boating, cross-country skiing, snowboarding, birdwatching and wildlife viewing. The town also hosts the annual Harmony Fair, usually held Labor Day weekend. This free fair offers rides, crafts, lots of food, motor sports and animals. Harmony lies within Somerset County, which is considered the gateway to the mountains, lakes, rivers and forests of Western Maine, which offer four seasons of outdoor fun. This is a great place to visit for anyone looking for a quiet, tranquil vacation getaway – far from the crowds and noise of the cities.

The central mountains region of Maine, just north of Augusta, has four delightful seasons with spectacular foliage in the autumn months. The overall climate is moderate with summer daytime highs in the 70s and low 80s and cool nights. Winters are cold but usually not frigid. Spring and autumn are mild during the day, with crisp, cool nights. The really cold weather begins arriving around the end of November with January and February generally having the lowest temperatures. Below zero temperatures are possible, but not the norm. Accumulating snow is a possibility into March and early April, but the warmer days of spring generally means it melts fast. Rain can occur anytime of the year, and is usually spread pretty evenly throughout the season.
