Snowshoe Capital About the Community
Norway was once celebrated as the “Snowshoe Capital of the World,” with the Tubbs Snowshoe Company supplying the vast majority of snowshoes used by the U.S. Government in WWII. Today, the town is defined by its natural assets, including Lake Pennesseewassee (Norway Lake), Little Pennesseewassee, North Pond, and Sand Pond.
The town's commercial district was largely rebuilt following a great fire in 1894, leaving a legacy of historic architecture in the downtown area. With local marinas, a public boat launch, and the scenic Lake Pennesseewassee Park, Norway continues to be a destination for water recreation, fishing, and scenic beauty in western Maine.
