“Wiscasset Students study Chapman-Hall House 1754”
Wiscasset High School students studied Damariscotta’s famous Chapman-Hall House 1754 on September 26th to gain a deeper historic appreciation for the Maine’s colonial history.
The colonial lifestyle and economic development were examined in the midcoastal region of Maine. Reagan Eddy, an AP United States History student, was fascinated how the living style of English settlers shared similarities with tasks we perform today. Reagan said, “When visiting the Chapman-Hall House, I learned more about how colonial Maine was. We learned about their living habits, social structures, economy, etc. Thank you, Louise Miller, for the opportunity to learn more about the Chapman family history.”
Wiscasset American History and AP United States History students studied English colonial history by touring the Chapman-Hall House led by Louise Miller. Kiernan Atwood, AP History noticed the timing Nathanial Chapman arrival in colonial Damariscotta corresponded with the beginning of the French and Indian War in 1754.
The Chapman-Hall House is a historic house museum in Damariscotta, Maine built in 1754 by one of the area's first permanent English settlers. It is the oldest standing house in the Damariscotta, and one of the oldest in the state of Maine.
