Reviews of Hamilton House (Museum)

belinda smith

The perfect place for a walk, a picnic lunch, for photos, to explore, and learn about our local history. An array of geocaching to be done there as well.

I haven’t been here in season yet, it hasn’t opened for tours, so I will update this review once it does! But for the winter, this is a beautiful place to come and explore for a dog walk or to take a little picnic and enjoy the view. The water is beautiful and serene, and it’s a nice flat walk through the fields that’s great for kids.

I love this place. I wish the actual house was open for tours or even an unguided walk-through. The little guest house and garden is so cute.

Mary Corbett

Debra Hirbour

Very good guide. Nice garden and great history of the house.

Stephanie Pinette

Gorgeous Historic piece of property! My favorite place to go and walk around or even have a picnic. My daughter loves going here!

David Kennard

A very nice place for a walk. I haven't actually toured the inside of the house, though that looks interesting. The grounds are free to walk around. There's a fee for the house tour. Nice gardens. Nice views along the river. There are connecting paths to the Vaughn Woods paths. Parking was free (the Vaughn Woods park requests a fee/donation if you park on that side).

Raymond Bushey

Looks nice. So day I will plan better an go up when they are open

Kyla Carter

Beautiful place to walk around and enjoy the day!

Peter O'Donnell

Attended a wedding here and the grounds were beautiful! Lovely views out over the water and well tended garden made for an elegant location. One draw-back to our visit was the wet ground which left all of us with muddy shoes!

Frank Conte

Well preserved piece of architectural and local history overlooking a prissteen river.

Beautiful grounds with tours of the estate. Trails are very scenic, and it is close to Vaughn Wood's State Park

They have outdoor concerts in the summer, can wander through the gardens before the music. We got there early so that we were able to find a spot in the shade as it was a fairly warm day.

I walk my dogs in the field behind the Hamilton House 3-5x a week. It's a beautiful setting and a beautiful property. If you get a chance and you're driving by, you should take an afternoon to throw a picnic here.

Tom Pringle

Absolutely outstanding place to visit. Wonderful grounds to walk around. Beautiful garden, incredible views of salmon falls and an excellent walk around Vaughn woods. If you're looking for a quiet nature walk, visit.

Jessica Gaines

One of my all time favorite views - looking out across the Salmon Falls River from the back of the house. The essence of peaceful. And the manicured gardens are delightful as well! They've recently rebuilt a traditional stone wall that is just perfect. And the fact that you can walk to Vaughn Woods is quite the bonus!

Joycelyn Loughlin

Beautiful right now in the summer with all the gardens full of so many different flowers!

William White

The place is lovely to look at but I never see staff and I should look into how I can see inside the house. Is it haunted?

Brendon Garrett

A walk back in time. Beautiful setting.

Luke Alexander

Best historic place in Maine

Frank Reynolds NH

Nice nature spot

Zach Foote

Check out this hidden gem. Beautiful year round, but especially when the garden is in full bloom.
