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.

old roads, relics of a different time
In the woods beyond the field behind the red house are traces of old roads. Remains of house foundations, rock walls and a couple of very old car chassis offer indications of life here long ago. The web of these roads, now well over-grown paths, show that Whitefield's history extends well beyond its woods, its pastures, the rippling ponds and brooks.
