Three Rivers Community
This website was created with the intent to link our communities, businesses, schools, and organizations together for better social and economic benefits. We provide the official online presence for our member communities, which are Atkinson, Bowerbank, Brownville, LaGrange, Lake View Plantation, Medford, Milo, and Sebec; and the unorganized townships of Barnard, Ebeemee, Katahdin Iron Works, Orneville, and Williamsburg. Milo is known as the "Town of Three Rivers," and that is where our name comes from. Pictured above are the three rivers that run through our towns. Our community is located in the central region of Maine, 45 minutes north of Bangor. This area is also known as the Penquis Valley (which comes from the counties of Penobscot and Piscataquis), and Eastern Piscataquis County. Along with the greater surrounding region, we are now known as the Maine Highlands.
TRC Alliance
The Three Rivers Community Alliance is a not-for-profit organization run by volunteers from its communities. We are not supported by any group, but soley from volunteer work and your donations. We are always looking for more volunteers! If you'd be interested helping us out, let us know!
History
This project was started in 1996 as the OurTown Project, a competition sponsored by the Computer Learning Foundation. The project was designed to promote your community on the internet, and its main purpose was to have school students do the research and web designing. TRC was based on the towns of MSAD #41 for this reason. Once the competition we entered into ended, we changed our name from the Ourtown Project to the TRC Internet Project, and then more recently to the TRC Alliance. We have gone through many changes, including different leadership, purposes, and web addresses. We hope this project will continue to serve the community well into the future.
Three Rivers News
The local newspaper has been a part of our site since 2002, and we have every issue to date available. It is based in Milo, and serves the same coverage area as TRC. The TRN is published jointly by the Three Rivers Kiwanis and the TRC Alliance.
