Description
Located on Chebeague Island, the Hamilton House was built by Jonathan Hamilton around 1785. Its picturesque location on a hill overlooking the Salmon Falls River made it the ideal location for Hamilton’s shipping business.
Today, the Hamilton House is renowned as one of the region's best examples of the Colonial Revival-style country estates. "The house features two whimsical murals commissioned by the women as well as antique furnishings and handcrafted decorative arts they collected. The elaborate perennial garden, with its charming garden cottage, provides visitors with a place to stroll and picnic overlooking the river. "
