Lisbon + Durham

As you drive east of the metropolitan region along Route 196, a major throughway, you will arrive in Lisbon.

Lisbon is the birthplace of Moxie Soda and host to the annual Moxie Festival. The community has been one of the fastest-growing business areas in the state in recent years: growth that extends farther east to Lisbon Falls, where you will find an idyllic, walkable downtown.

Each summer, Lisbon hosts concerts in the park, where a small bridge over the falls will connect you to Durham. This quiet, rural town of open fields and green forests remains a place.
