Maps of Historic Sites in Lincolnville, Maine

This small version of our interactive map shows cemeteries, churches, old homesteads, schools, cellar holes, stone wall boundaries and other points of historic interest. Some sites were known, but other locations were in danger of being lost to time. It’s a work in progress thanks to the efforts of Cindy Dunham.

Cindy, an avid hiker, took our handheld Garmin GPS unit and began with the cellar holes. She'd come across several in her rambles, and those were the first waypoints she tagged. After that, it seemed every time she stopped in at our museum, there was someone there who knew of another one.

Two Map Choices

This map is interactive. Clicking on an indicator will bring up a balloon with information about the site. We encourage you, however, to take an additional step and click on the link under the map. That takes you from our site to Google Maps, where we have prepared a larger version with additional features. There you can see more of Lincolnville at one time, drag it, or zoom in and out. A panel to the left on the larger map page can be used to begin with a list of sites and then click to their locations on the map instead of going from map to information. (You do not need to download a program to use these features.)

Please note that some historic sites are on private land. If not marked private, the site is state-owned or part of the Coastal Mountains Land Trust, and can be accessed by the public. Historic sites should not be disturbed in any way.

If you have other sites for Cindy, more information on any she’s already found, or suggestions about how we can make these maps work better for you, please use the email link on the left.
