At Riverbed Art, we’re on a mission to tell current stories while preserving the rich history and natural beauty of Caribou through our unique creations. Join us as we embark on a journey through time, uncovering the hidden treasures of the Aroostook River.
Echoes of the Past
In the early 19th century, Caribou was a budding community nestled within the embrace of New Brunswick, Canada. Alexander Cochran, a pioneer in search of opportunity and a place to call home, left an indelible mark on this land. His endeavors, including the establishment of a grist mill, laid the foundation for our community today.
Discoveries Through the Seasons
Our adventures begin with the changing seasons. During the dry summer months, when the riverbed is exposed, we eagerly venture forth to unearth hidden treasures beneath the sun-baked earth. The smooth fragments of beach glass and pottery whisper stories of days gone by, offering glimpses into life along the Aroostook River.

Artifacts of Resilience
Each piece we unearthed tells a story of resilience and adaptation. From possible remnants of antique glassware to the fragments of pottery crafted by skilled hands, some relics have borne witness to the ever-changing landscape of the Aroostook River. They serve as reminders of the strength found in resilience and the beauty of reinvention.
Crafting Beauty
At Riverbed Art, we honor these artifacts by transforming these personal pieces of the past, into personal stories of today. Whether it’s an Aroostook River Illustration, Aroostook River Angel, or beach pottery necklace, each creation pays homage to the past and new life. It’s our way of preserving history while celebrating the timeless beauty of nature.





Conclusion: A Journey Continues
As we continue to explore the riverbed of the Aroostook River, the journey of discovery unfolds before us. It’s a journey of connection, wonder, and endless possibility. Join us as we uncover the hidden treasures and breathe new life into the echoes of the past.
