Abby Epplett, Historian

On the same day I visited Old York Historical Society and Sayward-Wheeler House , I stopped in a few other places throughout York, Maine, including a historical marker, a little bridge, a big bridge, and a nature preserve. All of these stops are free and open to the public.

During my three-day trip of the Portsmouth, New Hampshire area, I visited Sayward-Wheeler House , a Historic New England (HNE) property in York, Maine. The house was owned by the Sayward-Wheeler family throughout its time as a private residence, from 1719 to 1977, and went through few updates.

During my three-day trip of the Portsmouth, New Hampshire area, I visited Old York Historical Society in York, Maine. The society owns and maintains several buildings and historic properties that I saw on my trip, including their Museum Center, Jefferds Tavern, York Corner Schoolhouse, the Old Gaol, and Emerson-Wilcox House.
