Incredible gardens in Lincoln County villages will be open to visitors over two days this summer. “The Gardens of Lincoln County,” hosted by Lincoln County Historical Association (LCHA), includes self-guided tours of special gardens in Dresden, Wiscasset, Newcastle, Damariscotta, and Round Pond on Friday June 30 and Saturday July 1.

“The Gardens of Lincoln County” will showcase a variety of garden styles including perennial gardens, cottage style gardens, working gardens, historically-inspired gardens, and gardens that express a particularly special personal design.

Tickets to the garden tour will include free admission for a tour at any of LCHA's historic museums: The 1754 Chapman-Hall House in Damariscotta, the 1761 Pownalborough Court House in Dresden, and the 1811 Old Jail and Museum in Wiscasset.

Tickets may be purchased in advance for $30 for one day or $50 for both. Visit https://www.lincolncountyhistory.org/garden-tour for more information and to order tickets.

Proceeds from Gardens of Lincoln County will support the ongoing work of Lincoln County Historical Association to collect, preserve, and interpret the history of Lincoln County, Maine.
