3 FARMSTEADS
Maine Rt.180 runs approximately 20 miles north on the west side of Graham Lake above the town of Ellsworth in
Hancock County, Maine. The landscape viewed from the road was settled by New England farmers as they migrated
up into the wilderness of Maine. The road passes by a series of old farmsteads interspersed with areas of forest land.
The farming of hay, blueberries and other crops continues on some of the land, but some of the farm buildings are
abandoned and many are in a deteriorated state..
