Historic New England | Hamilton House
About this place
Resting on thirty-five acres of fields and gardens, overlooking the Salmon Falls River, Hamilton House is recognized as one of the region’s most beautiful historic sites. Hamilton House is located on the homeland of the Wabanaki, “People of the Dawnland.” The arrival of European colonists forever changed the Wabanaki way of life. After over a century of inflicting disease upon and inciting conflict with the Wabanaki, colonists took ownership of the area known now as South Berwick. In the late eighteenth century, the site was sold to Jonathan Hamilton for his shipping business and in the nineteenth century, the Goodwin family operated it as a farm. In the early twentieth century, Emily Tyson and her stepdaughter Elise restored the site for use as a summer retreat. Visit this picturesque National Historic Landmark to glimpse an early twentieth-century country house retreat for the Tysons and for the domestic staff who made their leisurely life at the site possible. Hamilton House is open seasonally.
