The Town of Orrington's Old Home Week celebrates Orrington’s rich past, vibrant present and bright future.  It will showcase the best of Orrington: our 230 year history, distinct villages, beautiful natural resources, excellent schools, numerous businesses, churches and organizations and our friendly people.

Orrington’s heritage is rich in industry, including agriculture, lumber, fishing and ice harvesting. Shipping and shipbuilding facilities, sawmills, paper mills, tanneries, and pottery and artisan companies flourished along the rivers and streams, on the mountains and in the villages.


And Orrington is alive with natural beauty and abundant wildlife. Celebrate nature from the hiking trails in the Richardson Tract high atop Kings Mountain to the boat launch and recreation areas at Brewer Lake, Fields Pond, Swetts Pond and the Penobscot River, there is always an opportunity to enjoy the outdoors.
