“If men would consider not so much wherein they differ, as wherein they agree, there would be far less of uncharitableness and angry feeling.”
-- Famed English writer Joseph Addison (1672 - 1719).
These are wise words that should be heeded today. No wonder the settlers of Addison, Maine named their town after him shortly after the Revolutionary War.
Addison is a quaint fishing village with Pleasant River and Bay and the Atlantic Ocean bordering the west and south. Columbia Falls is to the north and Jonesport to the east. Addison is about 48 miles from Ellsworth and 19 miles from Machias. Scenic coastal views, a variety of wildlife, and small-town atmosphere make Addison a must visit while traveling Down East.
