This small town is home to the Jockey Cap rock formation, which was deposited by glaciers. The town is named after the Molly Ocket, a Native American who lived in a cave near the base of the rock formation. Visitors to the town will enjoy a 360-degree view of the surrounding mountains. Rock climbers will be thrilled with the Jockey Cap. There are bouldering, slab, and face climbing options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Located in the center of Fryeburg, Weston&#8217;s Farm offers an array of activities that include sapling picking and syrup making. Visitors can also visit their greenhouses, which offer a diverse collection of annuals and perennials. Visitors can also enjoy the view of the Saco River Valley from the farm&#8217;s deck. The farm also hosts an annual community dinner where the community can come together to share their harvest. In addition to the maple syrup, you can visit a farm where locals tap maple trees to make maple syrup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visitors to the town of Fryeburg may want to spend the weekend at the Fryeburg Fair. The fair, which runs for eight days in early October, is a great place to spend time with family and friends. It is also known for its livestock show, 4-H competitions, carnival rides, and food. The fairgrounds are perfect for picnics and is a great place for a day out with the family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The town of Fryeburg was incorporated in 1777. The town gets its name from Colonel Joseph Frye, who served the British during the French and Indian Wars. Water power, fertile soil, and transportation by the Saco River made Fryeburg an important frontier town. Fryeburg was eventually connected to the Portland and Ogdenburg Railroad. There, the town became a thriving, independent city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The town of Fryeburg is home to several restaurants. The Oxford House Inn, owned by Jonathan and Natalie Spak, is one such place. Jonathan Spak, a trained chef at the Culinary Institute of America, transforms local ingredients into a delectable meal. Among the many local favorites here are butternut squash fried rice with curry korma and apple-cranberry skillet crisp. The 302 West Smokehouse &amp; Tavern is another great option. This restaurant boasts a Cheers atmosphere, and the menu includes smoked chicken Caesar and vegetable fritters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The median age of residents was 44 years.
