The Town of Winterport has temporarily closed the meeting room and kitchen area of the Victoria Grant Civic Center to the public and all local organizations until further notice as a result of the sharp increase in incidents of COVID- 19. This closure does not affect the operations of the Neighbors Food Cupboard located on the first floor. The Town will continue to monitor incident rates in our area and periodically discuss whether the circumstances related to Covid-19 have changed enough to warrant reopening the VGCC. We apologize for any inconvenience but hope you understand that the health and safety of our residents and the larger community are our highest priority at this time.
Winterport is a small town located in Waldo County, Maine. Incorporated March 12, 1860 and once home to far-ranging sea captains, Winterport retains a 19th century charm that blends well with 20th century conveniences.
Located just 12 miles south of Bangor on Route 1A, Winterport faces the deep and fast-flowing Penobscot River. Older homes, many built for Winterport sea captains, stand along the downtown roadways. Sidewalks encourage people to stroll through the town.
From the historic downtown, where people can find a variety of restaurants and small businesses, visitors can walk the short distance to the Winterport waterfront and watch boats make their way to and from the Penobscot Bay and open waters just beyond.
Winterport is fortunate to have abundant natural resources including the Penobscot River, Marsh Stream, numerous brooks, acres of gravel deposits, rolling hills and hardwood forests. Such abundance allows our hard-working businesses to prosper.

Added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973, the Union Meeting House is the subject of ongoing preservation efforts and local pride.
