About
Old Town Canoe Company, founded in 1898 in Old Town, Maine, is a historic manufacturer known for its canoes. Initially producing canvas-covered wooden canoes, it adapted to modern materials like fiberglass and plastic in the 20th century. Acquired by S.C. Johnson in 1974 and later by Johnson Outdoors in 2004, the company expanded its offerings to include kayaks. Despite changes, Old Town’s commitment to quality endures, reflected in its enduring wood and canvas canoes. With a rich heritage and lasting products, it remains a staple in the paddling community.
