About Liberty
LIBERTY IS WIDELY known as the home of Liberty Tool Co., which sells used tools to people from all over the country.
IT ALSO IS home to the only octagonal post office in the United States, an old wooden building that now houses the local historical society. During the summer, it is open from 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
THE FORESTED lands of Liberty provided the tall masts for ships built in Waldoboro during the height of Maine shipbuilding.
THE FIRST ROAD from Belfast came through here and was known as the Davistown Road. It was used primarily to get the wood from Liberty to the coast.
LIBERTY ALSO is home to Lake St. George State Park, which has 38 campsites and a day-use area with picnic tables and a beach.
WITH MORE THAN 1,000 acres, Lake St. George has many undeveloped islands.
LIBERTY'S SISTER TOWN is Montville. Before they split in the early 1800s, Liberty and Montville were known as Davistown. Montville's claim to fame is as the original home of Haystack Mountain School of Crafts, now in Deer Isle.
