This red house in Whitefield, Maine sits on a knoll overlooking rolling fields in what was once known as Ball Town, Maine. The house (and county) are over two hundred years old. An interesting story on "Mainething.com" written by Ann Marie Maguire tells more about the house. As caretaker, I am interested in learning what life was like for those who lived here over the many years. Through this blog I hope others will appreciate its historical aspects and aesthetics.

Built into the wall of the parlor is a corner cupboard. Attempts in early years to remove it failed and it remains with the Red House today. See the rippled, bubbled glass? It was likely hand made here in Maine over 200 years ago.
Hello! What a lovely house. This is home of my 5th great grandfather Jonathan Heath. Hope to visit the summer of 2023!
