Cherryfield
Welcome to Cherryfield!
Settled along the beautiful Narraguagus River, the town got its name from the once-plentiful wild cherries that grew all around the area. Prior to its incorporation as a town, Cherryfield was a part of the nearby town of Steuben. Famous NASCAR driver Andy Santerre was born and raised here!
First settled in the middle of the 18th century, the area that Cherryfield now occupies grew to include lumber mills and a blueberry farming industry. The Cherryfield Narraguagus Historical Society displays fascinating exhibits that show how life used to be in the DownEast region in bygone eras!
Though small, the town makes an excellent to stop and get a bite to eat and stretch your legs by visiting some of the wonderful local shops and eateries.
