House and Garden Tour:
The Salmon Falls (West) Historic District
National Park Service, National Register of Historic Places Program
A property must meet three criteria in order to be eligible for consideration for an appointment to the National Register for Historical Preservation. The property, whether an historic district or a single building, is evaluated based on its age, integrity, and significance. In Maine, nominations are submitted to the Maine Historic Preservation Commission for an initial evaluation; a determination is then made about whether the property meets the standards set by the National Register of Historic Places.
We who live in Hollis and Buxton are fortunate to have several properties that have been named to the National Register. The accolade serves to remind us that our past is worthy of preserving and protecting and that its history provides a solid foundation reminding us of who we are, where we began, and what we must strive towards in order to continue to support our freedoms. The Buxton-Hollis Historical Society is pleased that we are able to invite you to tour two lovely properties in the Salmon Falls (West) Historic District in Hollis: the interior of the Moses Dunn House and the gardens of the Isaac Merrill House.
