Description
Main Street, known in 2010 as Route 131, curved through the quiet town of Morrill, past the church and north in the direction of Bangor.
The first two buildings on the right and left were mills that sat on the stream that connects the Smith Mill Pond and the Passagassawakeag River. One of Morrill's major mill products was lime casks.
Farther up the road on the left was Smith House, only the corner of which is visible. Built in 1805, it was the first framed building in the town. Morrill was then known as Green Plantation and part of North Belmont. The town of Morrill, named in honor of Maine Governor Anson P. Morrill, was incorporated March 3, 1855,
The church on the right, in the distance, served four different denominations, each taking one Sunday in the month. Built in 1847, it burned in 1972. A new church was built on the site.
