Gardiner

Gardiner is a vibrant river front city featuring historical homes, a downtown with a new look, and a fast-expanding business/industrial park. This City, which celebrated its 200th anniversary in 2003, boasts more buildings on the historic register than any other city in the area. Old homes are located in beautiful neighborhoods and reflect the wonderful quality of life that Gardiner has to offer. A special treat is the Oakland's Mansion, built in 1836 as the home of descendants of Dr. Slyvester Gardiner, founder of the City. Two American Presidents have stayed at the mansion.
