The Chapman-Hall House in Damariscotta, built around 1754 by Nathaniel Chapman, is the oldest surviving house in the area. Home to the Chapman family and later the Hall family for more than 150 years, it offers a glimpse into everyday middle-class life in mid-coast Maine during the Revolutionary era. Today, the house is owned by the Lincoln County Historical Association and is open seasonally to the public as a museum.
