Wilton claims to be the “place to play”.  While here you will find a plethora of outdoor activities to enjoy year-round on the Wilson Lake or you might choose to spend a day on the links at the Wilson Lake Country Club.

If visiting museums is more to your liking then make sure your vacation includes a stop at then Wilton Farm and Home Museum.  The museum is housed in a solid Maine structure built during the Civil War.  It includes one of Maine’s finest collections of farm tools, a nearly complete collection of Maine bottles and memorabilia from G.H. Bass, originator of the famous Bass Weejun.

In August, Wilton hosts its famous two-day Blueberry Festival with parades, chicken barbecue, music, pie eating, a classic car show, pig scramble for kids and a lively “wife carrying competition.” Wilton in August is the place to be.

Fourteen miles northwest of Wilton you’ll discover the Mount Blue State Park.  It boasts 5,021 acres; campground; sand beach with bathhouse; hot showers; flush toilets; boat launch; amphitheater, and nature center. The Adirondack shelters are available for large group use, and canoes may be rented. The park maintains cross-country ski trails, a major snowmobile trail, and an ice rink during the winter.

For accommodations you’ll find excellent choices from charming inns, to local motels and great camping options.
