The Most Intriguing Historic Homes

Victoria Mansion (Portland): Donald Trump has nothing on the Victorians when it comes to material excess. You'll see Victorian decorative arts at their zenith in this elaborate Italianate mansion, built during the Civil War. It's open for tours throughout the summer.

Parson Fisher House (Blue Hill): Parson Jonathan Fisher, who served as minister to the quiet town of Blue Hill in the late 18th century, was a man of extraordinary talents, from designing his own house and building his own clocks to preaching sermons in five languages (including Aramaic). As if that weren't enough, his primitive landscapes of the region are widely regarded as among the best from the area.
