Overall Ratings

1807 mansion maintained by Historic New England; extraordinary furnishings and design details.
Reviewed By Karrie007
Our guide, Jennifer, practically brought the Lees and Tuckers to life for us with all that she shared about the history of Castle Tucker. It was a fascinating tour peeking into rooms that once throbbed with life. The contents were the "real thing," not period pieces brought in, but items actually owned and used by the family. Since we were the only two in the tour, I think we saw a bit more, but the time flew by.

5. 1790 Tiny House
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 3 reviews
The 1790 Tiny House, is the tiniest home in Wiscasset. Recently sold from the original family to the current owner, and beautifully restored. Eight children were once raised in this 448 square foot home. Steps from where once stood the Garrison of Wiscasset, timbers from the garrison, original pine floors, hand cut nails, and beautiful gardens. Private residence, but willing to give tours.
