It was an overcast day with light drizzle when your reporter pulled up to the Peabody-Fitch Farm. Caroline Grimm, Bridgton Historical Society treasurer and this summer's Naramissic docent met me in the drive. I didn't know exactly what to expect from this worn house but when I stepped across the threshold. I was impressed!
The house if full of history, of artifacts and a richness that I don't have the words to fully describe, but that is what my camera is for - to capture the light, freeze time and give you a taste - a sampling of what you'll find here.
I had a wonderful time, and my historical tour guide Caroline was one of the most knowledgeable I've met. Please enjoy the video above and the still photos below but I strongly encourage to see Naramissic in person. You'll be very happy you did! The history and story telling make any trip worth the trek to Narramissic, The Peabody-Fitch Farm (1797) in beautiful Bridgton, Maine.
Narramissic Hours of Operation
July & August: Tuesday-Saturday, 1-4, and by appointment or chance. Closed mid-October - June. Enjoy the grounds and the self-guided hike to the quarry any time during daylight hours. Note: since the facilities are available to rent for weddings, reunions, and other private functions, there may be times (especially Saturdays) that we are not open to the public. Please check in advance if travelling a long distance to visit.
