Visit to Brewer House
August 14 @ 10:00 am - 12:30 pm
Our next summer outing will take place on Friday, August 14, 2026. The event is a tour of the Brewer House in Robbinston, Maine. In recent years, this historic house has not been open to the public, so this tour is a special opportunity to visit this notable structure.
Here’s what Wikipedia has to say about this house:
The high-style Greek Revival house was built c. 1828-30 by John Nehemiah Marks Brewer, veteran of the War of 1812, prominent local shipbuilder, and ship’s captain. Brewer’s father was a local militia commander during the War of 1812, and built The Mansion House, another prominent local residence. Brewer also later built the Henrietta Brewer House (located a short way up the road) for his wife. This house was used as a school for many years after Brewer’s death in 1857, but is now in private hands. It is the only known example of its style east of the Penobscot River.
We will meet at the Lincoln Library parking lot in Dennysville at 10 AM on August 14 to carpool to Robbinston. Bring your lunch for a gathering on the porch afterward.
