The old timers here in Orland largely worked at the paper mill in neighboring Bucksport. Many families pooled together and scraped up money to by land and make seasonal camps on Toddy pond, Craig’s pond, Alamoosoock lake, Heart pond, Jacob Buck’s pond in Bucksport just to name a few. Mostly generationally owned which now seem to be being snapped up for incredible sums of money by folks from away.

I live here in Orland and have for many years. Million dollar real estate properties are popping up here all over the place nowadays Used to be a not so popular town. I’m puzzled as to why all of the sudden interest here.
