Sayward-Wheeler House, Colonial house museum in York Harbor, Maine.
The Sayward-Wheeler House stands near the York River, featuring original wooden beams, period furniture, and multiple fireplaces from the 1700s.
Jonathan Sayward, who acquired the property in 1747, transformed the simple dwelling into a refined merchant residence during the American colonial period.
The house demonstrates the evolution of New England domestic architecture through its preserved colonial interior design and original family furnishings.
The museum opens seasonally from June through October, offering guided tours that showcase the original family portraits and 18th-century furniture collections.
The house remained unchanged after 1767 due to economic difficulties, creating an authentic time capsule of pre-revolutionary American domestic life.
