Hamilton House

This past weekend I visited the Hamilton House in Maine. It was built in about 1787 by Col. Jonathan Hamilton. The home is located on a bluff overlooking Salmon Falls River. After being owned by a couple of other families the home and property was eventually purchased in the late 1800′s by Mrs. George Tyson of Boston and her stepdaughter Elise. They were able to restore and preserve the home and gardens.

There was something very relaxing and welcoming about the majestic grounds and the home. I felt like I could have stayed there all day. I almost didn’t want to leave.
