Mount Vernon

The small rural and seasonal town of Mount Vernon is located in western Kennebec county, 20 miles northwest of Augusta. About 1/3 of the town's housing units are seasonal, clustered around the lake frontage of Parker Pond, Long Pond, Echo Lake, Flying Pond, and several smaller ponds. Mount Vernon Village is a small commercial village located in the northwestern corner of town. The town is rapidly becoming a suburb of Augusta, having doubled its population in the past 20 years. But there are no major corridors or arterials connecting it with Augusta.
