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.

Good soil makes for bountiful harvest
Good soil and hard work produced bountiful fall harvests each year, for the Maguire family and for those who lived on this land in years past.
"We had a very productive garden in the field below the house," said Ann Marie Maguire. "Though my children said its best production was glacial leavings as they picked rocks in the spring!"
