Skowhegan is a town in Somerset County, Maine, in the United States. As of the 2000 census, the town population was 8,824. It includes Skowhegan Village and the resort of Lakewood, home of the Lakewood Theater. Skowhegan hosts the annual Skowhegan State Fair, the oldest continuous State Fair in the United States, every August. The Skowhegan School of Art is an internationally known residency program for visual artists, though it is technically located in neighboring East Madison. The Skowhegan Falls, which have been replaced by the Weston Dam, descended 28 feet over a half mile on the Kennebec River. The falls were a popular destination for Abenaki Indians. From spring until fall, the tribe fished here, where abundant salmon and other species could be caught by wading. Consequently, they named the area "Skowhegan" (which they pronounced "Skoohegan"), meaning a "waiting place" or "place to watch." Colonel Benedict Arnold and his troops passed through Skowhegan in 1775 on their way up the Kennebec River to Quebec. Featured Homes in Skowhegan, ME
