Nelson Family Farm

The Nelson Family Farm, located in Livermore, Maine, is a historic property notable for its unique farmhouse built around 1830 from locally sourced rough-split granite. This farm, which spans 58 acres, features rolling terrain, stone walls, and an apple orchard. The main house showcases Greek Revival architectural elements, including a distinctive arched doorway and a stone vestibule. Established in 1816 by Deacon Alexander Nelson, the farm has a rich history, including a tragic fire that claimed the lives of Nelson's wife and daughter. The property has been preserved as a significant cultural landmark, listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1992, making it an interesting site for both tourists and researchers interested in Maine's agricultural and architectural heritage.
