| Higgins Barn, Oak Hill Rd. Mount Desert Island Historical Society Description: Constructed in 1810 and named for original owner; placed on National Register of Historic Places in 2003. The one-story timber-framed English barn is one of the finest examples of this style and of barn craftmanship. Ichabod Higgins's family moved to MDI from Cape Cod in 1778 to settle in the small Island community of Somesville. Not until the early 1800's did this ridge of land outside the village become and agricultural area. The barn has been in continuous use since its construction. [show more] |
