Meet at the Estey House, 16 Third Street, Presque Isle, Maine

 This house sits within the original land grant which established our community, originally known as Fairbanks Mills. It is believed to have been built around 1875 and is a good example of an upper middle class Victorian home. The only two major changes to the house since its construction is that the barn no longer exists and the Estey’s added a skylight in the upstairs bathroom.

The $10 fee will be split between SAGE and the Presque Isle Historical Society.
