Blaine’s house is a two-story frame and clapboard house, located on a 2.38-acre lot owned by the State of Maine in Augusta, Maine. The house was initially built in 1833 for Captain James Hall but was sold to James G. Blaine in 1862 and was retained by his family until 1919 when it was given to the State of Maine to be used as a governor’s residence. The House was renovated in 1919 by architect John Calvin Stevens as well as in 1962 and it was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1964 due its association with Blaine, a prominent politician during and after the Civil War. In his early days as a politician, Blaine supported Abraham Lincoln and the Union War effort in the Civil War and supported black suffrage in the Reconstruction era. He was a Republican, who represented Maine in the House of Representatives between 1863-76, served in the Senate from 1876 to 1881 and was secretary of state in 1881 and 1889-92. Blaine also unsuccessfully ran for president in 1884 when he lost to Grover Cleveland.

Chamberlain, who led a successful defense against the Confederate army on 2nd July 1863 in Gettysburg. Built on a slanting hill, the park imitates Little Round Top, Gettysburg and contains multiple plaques with inscriptions regarding the fight of the 2nd of July, as well as three sculptures; a statue of Joshua Chamberlain, a replica of the 20th Maine Monument that stands in Little Round Top and North to Freedom. The idea for the park started in 1995 when the house of John Holyoke was demolished to make way for a new Penobscot Bridge. Holyoke was a prominent abolitionist, and his house contained an underground shaft linking the house with the Penobscot river. The symbolic tracks installed on the park commemorate the site’s significance as a stop for runaway slaves on their way to Canada and to freedom.

Chamberlain Museum is a house museum, situated in Brunswick, Maine dedicated to Civil War veteran and subsequent governor of Maine, Joshua L. Chamberlain. The house was built in 1824 and was rented to private individuals until 1859, when it was bought by Chamberlain for $2,100. The house remained in the family of Chamberlain until 1939, when it was sold by his granddaughter to Emery Booker, a local banker and businessman. Throughout the years the house underwent many renovations, and under the ownership of Booker, it was divided into seven apartments for Bowdoin College students, the same college Chamberlain worked for as a professor. In 1983, after Booker’s death, the Pejepscot History Center (then Pejepscot Historical Society) bought the house for $75,000, and through donations and volunteer work, the house was renovated once more to look like it did during Chamberlain’s time. Though the museum opened in 1984, restoration work and item donations persisted through the 1990s. Notable items displayed in the museum include, Chamberlain’s Gettysburg boots, the Governor’s desk and chair, as well as the Medal of Honour which was awarded to Chamberlain for leading the defence in Little Round Top on the 2nd of July 1863.

Harriet Beecher Stowe House (Brunswick) Originally designed by architect Samuel Melcher III in 1806, the Harriet Beecher Stowe House is a colonial-style house, situated in Brunswick, Maine. Beecher Stowe moved in the house with her husband in 1850, so he could work at Bowdoin College as a professor. In November 1850, the Stowe family sheltered John Andrew Jackson, a self-emancipated man on his way North. The Stowe family stayed in the house until 1852, during which time Beecher Stowe wrote Uncle Tom’s Cabin, sentimental novel, depicting the reality of enslavement, which is considered as laying the groundwork for the Civil War. The building has been in the possession of Bowdoin College since 2001, and in 2015 the College renovated the house to resemble its 1855 appearance, as well as created ‘Harriet’s Writing Room’, a public exhibit space dedicated to Beecher Stowe’s literary work. The building became a National Historic Landmark in 1962 and a National Underground Railroad Network to Freedom site in 2016 for its association with Harriet Beecher Stowe.
