Sayward-Wheeler House
If you’d like to get a taste of York’s long history, but lack the stamina for the full-court Museums of Old York visit, here’s your best option: Stop by this historic home in York Harbor, run by the group Historic New England. In this well-preserved merchant’s home dating from 1760, you’ll find booty (such as fine china) plundered during the 1745 Siege of Louisbourg, which routed the French out of Nova Scotia. But you’ll have to do some planning: The home is open alternate Saturdays only, from June through mid-October; tours are given hourly from 11am to 3pm.
