Discover Maine history in Union
In the heart of Union, you'll find the maple-shaded Union common, a national historic landmark and the oldest public town common in Maine. A short way from the common, the Matthews Museum houses thousands of artifacts of Maine heritage and is open through the summer months – even if you're not a history buff, it's a fascinating introduction to the region. If you're staying at your Union vacation rental over summer, don't miss the town's annual fair – a fun week of family-friendly entertainment, live music, and stalls, where you can sample the local produce, wild Maine blueberries, and the output of local wineries.
Outdoor adventures near Union
Outdoor enthusiasts can head to the trails and lakes around Union to enjoy the local hiking, biking, kayaking, and horseback riding on offer. This is classic backwoods country, after all. The pretty coastal towns and iconic lighthouses of the Maine Atlantic seaboard are also close by. The quaint, history-rich villages of Camden and Rockland cling to the rugged coast just 20 minutes away. Both are well worth a day trip. Browse the pretty boutiques, galleries, and gift shops, savor the tasty seafood, or take a cruise to sport fish or whale watch on West Ponobscot Bay.
Union through the seasons
Choosing a Union vacation rental offers something different but equally rewarding throughout the seasons. As spring buds, hitting the trails in the fresh bracing air is the perfect way to shake off the last dregs of winter. Come summer, the coast is hard to resist, with its picture-perfect beaches, and popular summer events like the North Atlantic Blues Fest and the Maine Lobster Festival. Meanwhile, autumnal splendor makes a stay at a Union vacation rental especially beautiful in fall. Then, from November through March, you can make the most of the winter snows and the nearby Camden Snow Bowl.
Get out and about in Union
Union vacation rentals are surrounded by rich woodland, wide meandering rivers, and calm lakes.

This stretch of coast is as famous for its whale watching as it is for its beautiful lighthouses, which cling to craggy outcrops above crashing white Atlantic waves.
