The capital of Maine since 1832, Augusta is much quieter and less visited now than it was a hundred years ago. The lumber industry here really took off after the technique of making paper from wood was rediscovered in 1844, and Augusta also had a lucrative sideline - each winter hundreds of thousands of tons of ice , cut from the Kennebec River, were shipped out, as far south as the Caribbean, in a trade now all but forgotten by history.
