Wiscasset Homes on Tour

Homes on Tour 2025 features a collection of private homes and gardens in historic Wiscasset Village and the surrounding area. Featured homes are from the 18th and 19th centuries, each unique and fascinating. Together they present a sense of rural Village life but updated for the 21st century. They are treasured private residences, and homeowners have successfully blended contemporary taste with historical details so that glimpses of the past remain.

In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, picturesque Wiscasset had a prolific ship-building industry along the shores of the Sheepscot River. Those stunning homes that spoke eloquently of their owners’ wealth still remain, but so, too, do the well-preserved homes of shopkeepers, entrepreneurs, farmers, and other productive members of this small self-contained community. Together, they contribute to Wiscasset’s description as “the prettiest village in Maine.”

Wiscasset’s Homes on Tour features history, splendor, and inspiration!
