Steamboats plied the Penobscot River during the late 1800s carrying passengers, mail, and cargo. Lincoln Center was a common stop along the route. This is ticket #305, from the W.N. Ray Steamboat, dated May 13, 1864. It was traveling from Old Town to Winn and this ticket was for a box of merchandise. The terms were for "Cash on Delivery" for the sum of 75 cents. The steamboats were put out of business when the railroads came through in the 1870s and 80s.

The Mansion House was a hotel located on the West side of Main St. in Lincoln. Ami M. True & Co. managed the hotel from 1843 to 1855, and perhaps later. George O. Cutler was landlord in the 1870s and H. G. Coburn after that. Still later it was run by H.H. & J.B. Stetson, and when the House burned on June 20, 1887, Joseph L. Fessenden was proprietor.

Benjamin Chesley of Paris, Maine, arrived in "Mattanawcook" in 1824 at the age of 44 with his family by way of the old Indian foot trail from Old Town.
It is said that he reached there with an axe on his shoulder and four and sixpence in his pocket. For a while, he and his family lived in Aaron Woodbury's house.
He was the proprietor of this area and with his sons, Benjamin Jr. and Edward, surveyed Township three and divided it into lots. Land was to be sold at $1 per acre.
He is considered one of the founding fathers of Lincoln. He died Dec. 15, 1855 at age 75.

Shown here is a carriage in front of the Lincoln House Hotel with "Just Married" written on the top. What looks like rice floating above the carriage may have been thrown onto the married couple as their carriage departs.
The Lincoln House was built in 1836 by William Leighton. The second floor of the hotel was a long ell known as the Lincoln House Hall. It was a large part of the social life in Lincoln. It became an important gathering place during the tumultuous years of the Civil War. The news of the war was brought by mail stage, with a single newspaper serving many and large crowds gathered as the stage arrived.
There were many notable visitors listed in the Lincoln House registers which are now owned by the Lincoln Historical Society. On September 12, 1869, Major General J. G. Longstreet, a southern general in the Civil war stopped at the Lincoln House.
The building was demolished in 1958 with just enough of the building standing to have a modern restaurant to operate in connection with the Lincoln House Motel.

This picture shows a view of Main Street in the 1930s looking North. Note the large elm trees that are still standing at the north end of the street. At one time they lined the entire street on both sides making a lovely setting for the stores and businesses. They had to be cut down in the late 1940s due to Elm Disease.
Today, in 2010, the most prominent building shown that is still standing is the large white building known as the Taylor Block. In its varied history, it has housed a jewelry store, two dentists, a printing company and several other businesses. Now it serves the town mostly as an apartment building.

This view of Main Street in Lincoln looking south shows some of the stately old buildings that once adorned Main Street. Note the majestic Elm trees that lined the street, shading the houses. On the left, the first building is the Lincoln House gas station on the corner lot of Main and Burton St., next is the Masonic Hall where the Town Offices are now located.
The beautiful building on the right was the Litton House. The next building is Gateway Motors which is now Cole Whitney. The next is the home of a dentist, Dr. Charles Fuller. This house was occupied by an African American troop detachment sent here to guard the railroad bridges in Lincoln, Mattawamkeag and Passadumkeag during World War II.

The gray building on the right was the stable of the Mansion House which was located across the street and burned in the 1890s. A fire engine was sent from Bangor on the train to fight the fire, but when it arrived the nozzle for the hose had been left in Bangor. It was feared the whole town was going to burn.

Will Brown pioneered the Model T Ford in Lincoln. A Bangor Daily News interview with Mr. Brown in 1954 reported that, "He bought his first car in 1904 and has perhaps been driving longer than anyone else in the state of Maine." He took a trip to Bangor, which was an all-day trip at the time. When a driver with a team of horses saw Brown and his car coming toward them, they took to the fields. Mr. Brown was a Ford dealer from 1910 to 1928. The text at the bottom of the photograph says "Ford Model T Price 850 WA Brown Co Agents," suggesting that it is an advertisement for Mr. Brown's dealership.

In the summer of 1918, the citizens of Lincoln banded together and started the construction of a new grade school for their children. The site selected was a small hill not far from the Penobscot River, called Ballard Hill. The townspeople did most of the work themselves.
The foundation was dug by hand when they had extra time. Milford Mott did the masonry work and Cal Staples was the carpenter. The roof was flat and in 1988, seventy years after it was built, it had never leaked and the town had never had to repair it. When the school was finally finished in the fall of 1920, Mrs. Ella P. Burr led her students from the Primary School up to the newly finished school for opening day.
The following is a list of the first teachers: Mrs. Burr, 4th grade; Mrs. Whittier, 5th grade; Miss Fairly, 6th grade; Miss Graves, 7th grade; Miss Adams, 8th grade; Mr. Reed, 9th grade; Miss Josephine Briggs, Music Teacher; Mr. Wright. The morning exercises were performed by Mr. Wright. He then read a few passages from the Bible.
Ballard Hill is no longer used as a school but is now Ballard Hill Community Center. Many activities for the school children are now offered and the Community Meals for Me is also located there.
This historic building stands strong today, overlooking the town and many memories are shared by the people who once attended school there.

The first school house in South Lincoln was built sometime before 1838. About 1878 a new school house was built about five hundred feet below the site of the first one. In 1896 it was decided to move this building into a more central location and it was moved to a lot across the road from the cemetery.
The new South Lincoln schoolhouse was built in 1923 and closed in 1955. It is now owned by the Community Progress Club and used as a community building.

Howard Annis was a well-known name in Lincoln Center history. He was a woodsman turned storekeeper who catered to many woodsmen in the area. He supplied them with tools, clothing, and food. A pair of woodsman's boots on display at the Lincoln Historical Society testifies to the fact that he would sell one boot to a woodsman if that was all he needed. They did not necessarily match, though. His huge wheels of cheese, barrels of molasses, and slabs of bacon were only a few items sold in this old country store.
In addition to his merchandise, the store was home to the Lincoln Center Post Office for over 80 years. Howard was the Post Master for forty-three of those years. The Lincoln Center post office had started at a fourth class rating and advanced to third class during WWll. This post office closed in 1964.
In 1964, the Post Office moved across the street to another old renovated building, the Lincoln Center fire house. Norman Ware was the only Post Master to serve in this post office.
The original post office and some of its artifacts can be viewed at the Lincoln Historical Society.

The Lincoln Center Ferry was the principle ferry across the Penobscot River at Lincoln. Although the exact date was not known, it was established early in the history of the town. There was another ferry at Winn and one at North Lincoln. The ferry transported horse and buggies, cars and trucks, and passengers across the river. The ferry was attached to a wire with a set of pulleys and used the flow of the current to carry the ferry across. The ferry was set at an angle according to the current and reversed on the way back. A long pole was used to help push the ferry in the right direction of the current. This picture was from the Chester side, looking over to Lincoln. Notice the train in the background.

This photograph which was taken in the 1920s shows the right side of the dam is still wood while the left side is stone. After it was all changed to stone, it became known as the Old Stone Dam. Today the dam is made of cement but the stones are probably still there.

A fox farming operation in Lincoln, at the time of the pelt sales.
When the foxes were grown to the size needed for a good pelt, a time would be set and people would come from all over the country to select their own pelts. It was a prosperous and exciting time. Husbands and wives often travelled here from New York, Michigan, Minnesota and other states just to select the pelt they wanted. Although they were called Silver Foxes because of their unique silver color, some of the them were all black and there were even some red ones. These were of a lesser value than the silver. Some of these pelts sold for over $3000.00 and a few even sold for #10,000.00. This was a huge operation but the prosperity of it only lasted for a few years before it went bankrupt. After that, the ranches continued until late 1940s but were never again as prosperous and they were in their heyday of the 1920's.

This is a pack of Silver Foxes in one of the outer pens at one of the Frank H. Gordan ranches in Lincoln. Note how high the pens are built with the wire having an overhang to prevent the animals from getting out or predators getting in. The wire extended below the ground for a couple of feet to prevent predators from digging under the fence to get to the foxes and likewise to keep the foxes from digging their way out. In addition to the wire pens inside, there was a tall wooden fence all the way around the fox ranch to again keep predators out and foxes in.

The #1 Gordon Fox Ranch was located on Transalpine Road and the top of Fish Hill in Lincoln. The ranch covered the largest part of the hill with two houses also located there. One house is still in existence today but the pens and other buildings are gone. The foxes were housed in these pens. Each separate pen had a box for the foxes to go in to sleep and have their young. Each ranch had an overseer (probably holding the fox) and sometimes several ranch hands depending on the size of the ranch.

The Stanislaus family was a family of Native Americans who lived in Lincoln in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Stephen Stanislaus was Governor of the Penobscot tribe for eight years. His wife, Sylvia, was a Passamaquoddy. They had one son who survived childhood, Francis. The picture shows the family home on Mattanawcook Island, behind the present-day mill, on the river. There was a small community of Native Americans who inhabited this island; there was even a school. The Stanislaus home burned to the ground on August 11, 1926. The family soon moved to mainland Lincoln.

The Corro House now is home to the Lincoln Historical Society. It was built in 1836 by Jacob Stinchfield and was sold to Dr. Moses Wilson in 1844. It was later sold to Artemus Weatherbee and at his death passed on to his wife, Mary Weatherbee. She later married Joseph Corro and they lived in the house for many years and it became known as the Corro House.
The Historical Society leased the building in 2009 from the Town and it has become a historical landmark as it is being renovated and restored by the Society. Many interesting features have been found in the the house, especially with the uncovering of a bee hive oven and fireplace in the kitchen. This fireplace had been closed in for over one hundred years. Other interesting features have been preserved within the house, such as the wide floor boards, the old hardware on the doors, and the wide boards on the bathroom wall.

Roger Weatherbee is well remembered by many for his fly-by of Lincoln on May 20, 1946. Roger flew this plane from Florida to Presque Isle air base after being stationed in Florida after WW II. On his return flight, being so close to home, it was only natural he would want to fly to Florida via his hometown of Lincoln. He did this in great style. After buzzing the town at a very low altitude, with students at the Ballard Hill School being able to look right into his cockpit, he then turned the plane upside down and flew straight down Main St. and up over his home on High St.
Roger was in the actual fighting of the war and flew many combat missions in a P-38 fighter plane.
Roger and his P-51 plane has been talked about since that momentous day and now a model of this plane, upside down, hangs in a corner of a room in the Lincoln Historical Museum with a painting of the high school behind it.

A train that was leaving the mill had two wheels slip off the track due to ice build up. Crews from Bangor had to come up to get the train back on track which took several hours. Once it was back on the track, it started backing up toward Lincoln Center in order to get a good run to make the hill going out of Lincoln. A South bound train was coming down and the two trains collided in Lincoln Center. The caboose of the first train was flattened so badly by the engine of the second train that it was pushed under the car that the caboose was hooked to. Fortunately there were no injuries as the men in the caboose jumped off in time.

David S. Plumly came to Lincoln from Pennsylvania in 1836. On the corner lot on the Military Rd. (Main St.) he built a general store. This store burned in 1856 and he at once erected the three-storied building which became known as the Plumly Block. His general store occupied the corner section and Harrison Piper had a jewelry store on the other side for over thirty years. Charles operated the store after the death of his father. He was Postmaster from Oct. 1, 1897 to Sept. 1913 and the post office was located in this location for a number of years. The store was later sold to George Mitton who operated it as The Green Front in the late 1920s. It then became known as the Mitton Block.

This hotel was located on the east side of the upper end of Main Street built in 1836 by William T. Leighton. By 1900, there were two stories made of brick and two new stories made of wood and a second floor veranda. The building was now four stories and there was a livery stable connected. This was a popular stopover for travelers. There was a dining room on the first floor. A wide staircase led to the second floor with rooms used primarily by individuals and families. The third floor had large rooms where men generally stayed. Owners included Sam Libby and Robert J. Burr. This building was demolished on March 19, 1958 leaving just enough of the building standing to have a modern restaurant to operate in connection with the Lincoln House Motel.

The Lincoln Post Office was in the Plumly Building, a three story building built in 1856 on the corner lot of lower Main Street. David S. Plumly had it built following a fire which destroyed his store in the same location in 1842. He ran a general store during his lifetime and passed it down to his son Charles F. afterward. The other part of the building was occupied by Harrison Piper, who had a jewelry store there for thirty years. Mr. Plumly was interested in lumbering and owned the mills at Cold Stream (Hubbard's Mills). He was a Justice of the Peace, a Selectman, the Deputy Sheriff in 1852 and Assistant Assessor of Internal Revenue during the Civil War.

The first clergyman associated with the Lincoln Center Baptist Church was Stephen Chase who came to the settlement in February, 1825. He held meetings, preached, visited the sick, attended funerals and was constant in all duties that pertain to the pastor of a church at what is now Lincoln Center for a period of nearly twenty years. There was no church organization in his time and he did not live to see the erection of the church at Lincoln Center.
Rev. Sylvester Besse arrived at Lincoln Center on 28 November, 1845, from Paris, Maine. He was ordained a little more than a year later, soon after the church dedication on 1 Jan., 1846.
