Best things about Limestone

Loring Air Force Base

It has a museum which can tell you about most of the activities that happened at the base. It is now mostly abandoned, with a Loring Job Corp Center, and a Humvee rebuild center. It was featured in the movie WarGames.

High School Sports Game

The Limestone Eagles have games in all kinds of sports. Soccer from August to October, Basketball from November to January, and Baseball and Track whenever the snow melts. There is a schedule at the school website.

Trafton Lake

This campground hosts the 4th of July fireworks along with other events

Spud Speedway

It's a 1/3-mile, paved circle race track. It's in Caribou, right outside of Loring. It cost $5 to get a seat in the main grandstands, but for $10 you can get into the pits. There are food stands in both spots.
