Made in the USA with the highest quality construction, excellence, and pride. Each pair of Wassookeag Moccasins are hand cut from full hides of premium full grain leather, hand lasted and hand sewn one at a time only as they are ordered in our small shop nestled in the rolling hills of Central Maine.
Since its beginning in the historic shoe manufacturing, now sleepy little town of Dexter Maine, Wassookeag Moccasins has been committed to producing the highest quality handmade leather moccasins available on the market today. Wassookeag Moccasins whose name is derived from the local Lake Wassookeag (meaning “Shining Waters”) was founded on the principle of offering a superior leather moccasin with great service at a fair price.
The highest quality, handmade moccasins you will find anywhere.

Silverton Foods
Posted by Denise Murchison & filed under .
As a Registered Maine Guide and Sporting Camp Owner I know how important food is to a great getaway. I have developed my line of BBQ/Anything Sauces with unique flavor pairings such as Apple Rum Sauce, Pineapple Bourbon Sauce and Tequila Lime Cocktail Sauce to make meal prep easy and to add variety!
My newest offering, MBB BBQ Sauce is made from local maple ( Battleridge Syrup, Clinton), bacon (Barstow Farms in Waldoboro) and beer (Bigelow Brewing in Skowhegan).
All of my sauces, except MBB BBQ Sauce are gluten free.
MBB BBQ, Pineapple Bourbon, Special Blend Marinade, Classic Cocktail Sauce and Tequila Lime Cocktail Sauce have no high fructose corn syrup.
In 2018 I decided a food truck would be a great way to introduce customers to my sauces and Silverton BBQ bar was built. In 2019 I traveled to 18 Maine towns and served thousands of customers from Houlton to Scarborough. It was great to hear customers responses and to certainly hear customers say “I love these sauces, I use them all the time”. It’s been a great success!
I have a sign on the truck that indicates where customers can buy sauces locally.
