Damariscotta River
The Cradle of Maine OystersBelieve it or not oyster consumption in the Damariscotta region has existed for over 2000 years! Started by Native American's many moons ago ancient midden sites aka oyster landfills can still be seen! Modern day Maine oyster farming got its start in this region and today both large & small farms exist together in harmony along this narrow, winding river. You can enjoy Maine oysters from the pioneers & Godfathers’ themselves including Bill Mook’s Moondancer & Smokey Mckeen’s Pemaquid, and even taste a few bonafide wild oysters harvested by the Johns River Oyster Company.
