About Gardiner, Maine
Gardiner is a city of 5,961 people in Kennebec County, set along the Kennebec River's west bank south of Augusta. Dr. Silvester Gardiner, a Boston physician who grew rich selling drugs and became a principal owner of the Kennebec Purchase, founded Gardinerstown Plantation here in 1754. He chose the head of navigation, where Cobbosseecontee Stream drops 130 feet into the river, because that fall could drive mills. He persuaded a carpenter, a wheelwright, a millwright and a gristmill builder to settle, along with Isaac "Hazard" Stockbridge, a man he enslaved.
Dr. Gardiner remained a Loyalist and fled Boston along with the departing British in 1776, and his Maine lands were seized. A mistake in the confiscation let his heirs recover the property, and his grandson Robert Hallowell Gardiner arrived in the early 1800s to run it. He settled titles with the squatters, rebuilt the dams and mills, and added stores, a church, an inn and a wharf. The town was incorporated on February 17, 1803, and he later became its first mayor.
- Ice from the KennebecEvery winter, crews sawed large blocks out of the frozen river and stored them in warehouses under sawdust so they would last into summer. Ships carried the ice all year to ports across the United States and overseas. Buyers prized Gardiner ice because it was cut as far upriver as deep-draft ships could sail, and the trade lasted from the 1880s into the 1920s.
- Eight dams on the streamBy 1850 Gardiner ranked among the leading ports on the Kennebec, and eight dams on Cobbosseecontee Stream powered its mills. The railroad came in 1851, a working steam automobile was built here in 1858, and paper mills grew from the 1860s. Many mills shut down by the 1960s, which left the brick downtown along Water Street from the late 1800s largely untouched, including the public library that Henry Richards designed in 1881.
- The model for Tilbury TownEdwin Arlington Robinson arrived in Gardiner in 1870, aged about one, and grew up at 67 Lincoln Avenue. Gardiner became his Tilbury Town, where "Richard Cory" and "Mr. Flood's Party" take place.
- Laura E. RichardsLaura E. Richards, a daughter of Julia Ward Howe, came to Gardiner in 1876 when her husband went to work running his family's paper mill. She published more than 90 books, among them Captain January, and in 1917 she and her sisters shared a Pulitzer Prize for a biography of Howe. In 1935 she led a nationwide fund drive for the Robinson monument on Gardiner Common, and a city elementary school bears her name.
- Two Gothic Revival landmarksSilvester Gardiner organized the Christ Episcopal Church congregation in 1772, the oldest in the Episcopal Diocese of Maine. Its stone church on the common, built in 1820, is New England's oldest known Gothic Revival church and holds his cenotaph. South of downtown, Richard Upjohn designed Oaklands, a granite house for the Gardiner family begun in 1835 with stone from Hallowell. The estate above the Kennebec is still farmed.
