Limestone (Maine)

Limestone is a city in Maine just over the border from New Brunswick, Canada.

Get in

From Caribou- Route 89 East. From North or South- U.S. Route 1. From Canada- 375 in New Brunswick goes to 229 in U.S. and straight into Limestone.

Get around

There is never any heavy traffic, not even moderate traffic. So using a car is by far the easiest way to go. The central part of Limestone is very small, walking around town is very easy.
