Vienna Clerks Office Closed
I have closed my office to the public until further notice. I will be processing registrations through the mail and by appointments. I will make appointments for people but they will need to stay in their car and I will come out to them. If anyone contacts you, let them know that all re-registrations have a 60 day grace. I know this is an inconvenience to the people of our town, but hopefully they understand.
Thanks
Annie Tibbetts
Planning Board Meeting Cancelled
In view of the COVID-9 situation,
The VIENNA PLANNING BOARD
Has cancelled its March meeting scheduled for March 25.
The Board hopes to resume its regular meeting schedule as soon as possible
Welcome!
Vienna (Vy-enna) a town in Kennebec County was settled in 1786 and incorporated on February 20, 1802 from portions of Goshen and Wyman's plantations. The community was named for what is now Vienna, Austria. (see History of Vienna).
Small, quiet and picturesque, Vienna is located on the northwesterly corner of Kennebec County, 22 miles northwest of Augusta the state capital and just 12 miles down Rt. 41 from Farmington the Franklin County seat.
Vienna lies within the foothills of the western Maine mountains. On a clear day McGaffey Mountain — the highest point in Kennebec County—which is located in Vienna, provides views of Mount Washington, Mount Blue, the Camden Hills and Mount Katahdin.
