Wiscasset Historic District
Wiscasset Historic District, Colonial-era historic district in Wiscasset, United States.
The 101-acre district encompasses the central village with Federal-style buildings, brick mansions, and a preserved 19th-century commercial center along the Sheepscot River bank.
The area developed into a major shipping port east of Boston during the Revolutionary period until the Embargo of 1807 caused economic decline.
The Nickels-Sortwell House and Castle Tucker present Victorian architecture, while the Maine Art Gallery maintains exhibitions in the former Wiscasset Academy building.
The district features a self-guided walking tour with historical signs, and many buildings offer guided visits from June through October.
The Lincoln County Courthouse within the district maintains its position as the longest continuously operating courthouse in the United States.
