Even the tiniest Gawler sings and plays the fiddle. And we all look forward to it. Once a year the Gawler Family hosts the Buttermilk Hill Music Festival behind their farmhouse. Musicians and singers come from all over Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont. The sweet smell of freshly-mown hay adds to the atmosphere, as the field fills with folding chairs.
Families open up picnic baskets, and put on hats to block the strong summer sunshine.
Located less than an hour from the scenic rocky coast of Maine, lobster, crab and shrimp are favorite dinner fares in Belgrade Lakes. And for a memorable evening meal of duck, no place compares with the Village Inn. Located on the Belgrade Stream, you can watch boaters pass by while enjoying your meal. Then if you like, take your dessert on a patio boat tour of Great Pond with knowledgeable local guide, Rod Johnson. For almost 80 years, Frank Farnham and his family have been providing nearly everyone with fresh and natural vegetables.
