"Wayne is a place full of exquisite landscapes where everybody knows you, where they take care of you when you're sick, where your kids can grow up without fear. 
Why doesn't everybody live like this?"

(New England Monthly: "In praise of small towns", April 1989)

We are a small town fifteen miles west of Augusta, the state Capital. Wayne's population doubles in the summer as visitors from all over the world come here to swim and sail in our seven lakes and ponds, pick strawberries and blueberries, eat local vegetables and Maine seafood, and enjoy a relaxed life in small- town Maine. We are near excellent restaurants, a world-class Shakespearean theater, ocean beaches, mountains, whitewater rafting, and many other adventures.
Visitors will find a classic New England village with two churches, two libraries, a recreation center, a general store and our corner store/gas station, and specialty shops. We would be glad to help you find a cottage on one of our lakes to rent for a week or for the summer. Facts about Wayne, from the Kennebec Valley Council of Governments.
