Sun kissed skies and kind hearted souls—these are the appeal of Lewiston. The natural beauty of our woodland paradise is surpassed only by the incredible grandeur of the good neighbors and fine people we are blessed to live with here. For the most part, people look for the best in others and speak well of them. Regardless of income or assets, folks here are generous, compassionate and eager to help when aware of a need. More connects us than divides us—and people here seem to value taking hands and working together. We honor the elders, hold in high esteem our veterans, keep central our children and believe everyone deserves another chance. Warmed in our long winters by the hope of spring, we have learned to look for the light in the darkest of days. We’re resilient when trials come. We live our faith. In a plastic world, we are real, unpretentious, humble and grateful. We hear things others don’t—the distant call of the loon on the lake or the whisper of aspen leaves in the breeze. We see things others miss—the discovery of a morel among the fallen leaves or a spotted fawn standing in the bracken ferns. From these, we have learned to hear the silent sadness of the lonely among us and see in the eyes of another, the longing to belong. It’s part of life here, awakened in the quiet, inspired in the soft glow of a summer’s morning. This is a special place and ours is a special privilege to call it home. This is Lewiston, Pure Lewiston, more than a spot on the map—a place in the heart.
