The Jonathan Fisher House of Blue Hill will host our annual celebration of the arrival of autumn and the end of our tour season at the House on Sunday, October 12 from noon to 2:00 PM. Join us for activities, live music, and refreshments, bring your apples and other fruit to add to our community cider-pressing, and take a turn at the press at this free, outdoor, family-friendly event.

Pear and apple cider will be pressed on-site from the blue-ribbon winning pears planted by Jonathan Fisher as early as 1805, as well as apples from our orchard and donated fruit from around the peninsula. Leslie Cummins, who manages the historic orchard at the Fisher House along with Tim Seabrook, will be providing apple identification services, so bring your mystery fruit to see if she can give you answers!

Additionally, there will be guided tours of the reconstructed historic orchard, highlighting Fisher’s original design and planting, as well as the process of re-establishing the orchard twenty years ago based on the documented apple varieties from Fisher’s original orchard map.

This event is open to the public and free of charge, though donations are always welcome to support the Fisher House.

The Jonathan Fisher House is a historic house museum in Blue Hill. Fisher’s famed collection of folk art, surveying instruments, woodworking tools, furniture, and farming implements that he designed and personally made are housed at the Homestead located at 44 Mines Road (U.S. 15 S). For more information, call the Fisher House at 374-2459 or email contact@jonathanfisherhouse.org.

One of Yankee Magazine's top five cemetery tours in New England! Walk Portland's Old Burying Ground with a trained guide. Hallowed? Not officially. Historic? Absolutely. Haunted? You decide. Visit the cemetery's unique field of underground tombs, the oldest gravemarker from 1717, the final resting place of the famed Captains of the 1813 battle between the Boxer and the Enterprise, and the interesting carvings of Portland's first stone-cutter, Bartlett Adams. Tours include early gravestone art, important local historic figures, Portland's historic events, and the landscape of this National Historic Landmark, including segregated sections for Black people, Catholics, Quakers, and strangers. Wear comfortable walking shoes, as the ground is uneven once we leave the main pathway. Tours are held unless the weather is stormy.
