TWO FARMSTEADS
​

​OLD NORWOOD PLACE

The Old Norwood Place farmstead is located at the junction of Oak Hill Road and Whitney Farm Road near the village of Somesville on Mount Desert Island in Maine.  It was built originally by the Thum family who were early migrants to the Island from England. 
The Cape Cod style house with small house attached and the larger barn are in a restored condition condition.  .

​

​THE SECOND FARMSTEAD

Viewed from both the roadside and a satellite image, this property is an example of a vacant historic Maine farmstead in a deteriorated condition.  The site includes a wood-framed house with a double-gable facade,  and a hybrid English-New England
style barn. Other structures can also be viewed in  a variety of sizes and types required for farming.  Fields extend to both the East and West.
