Falmouth’s schools are ranked as some of the best in the state, in addition to an excellent community education department.
Other attractions in Falmouth include the harbor and town landing, indoor and outdoor ice-skating facilities, many parks and recreational facilities and three golf courses.

Cumberland
The Town of Cumberland, located just 10 miles northeast of Portland, offers the best in accessibility and atmosphere. Residents and over 150 business owners benefit from the conveniences of more heavily populated areas, without sacrificing the charm of a rural coastal town.
Cumberland is governed by a seven-member, elected Town Council and over 20 committees comprised of volunteer residents who are tasked with research and oversight of specific town resources and activities.
The MSAD 51 school district in Cumberland has been repeatedly recognized for its high levels of performance, course offerings and student achievement. Cumberland’s economy is strongly rooted in coastal and agricultural enterprise and the town remains dedicated to sustainable living and preservation of accessible open space. Since 1871, the Cumberland Farmers’ Club has hosted the popular Cumberland Fair - “always the last week in September.” Additionally, Cumberland has doubled its commercial tax base over the past five years and continues to grow as a premier setting in which to conduct business.
