601 Carroll Homestead

Title: Carroll Homestead in bold; background depiction of 19th century farm life

The Carroll Homestead represents a coastal Maine farm of the 1800s and the island’s hard-working, self-sufficient, year-round residents. Four generations of the Carroll family lived on the 100-acre homestead and harvested food and firewood for their own use. The men cleared the land for the house, gardens, hay fields, and pastures, and worked as masons. The women and younger children tended the kitchen garden of pole beans, lettuce, radishes, carrots, cucumbers, and herbs while older children helped with plowing, harvesting, and caring for livestock. Some of the Carroll women were schoolteachers. Imagine life on this homestead as you stroll back in time.
