A river-valley community on Maine’s old travel routes.
Hiram’s history follows the routes that connected inland settlements with the coast. Incorporated in 1814, it was a stage stop on the Pequawket Trail and later had a rail connection through the Bridgton and Saco River Railroad. That transportation story helps explain the town’s place in southwestern Maine and gives a visit more depth than a single drive to a showing.
