The Blaine House in Augusta is one of Maine’s most notable homes. It is the home of Maine's Governors and their families. In 1862, three decades after the house was built by Capt. James Hall, James and Harriet Blaine moved in. The home became the setting for one of the most wide-ranging careers in American politics, during which James G. Blaine served as Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, U.S. Senator, Secretary of State, and Republican candidate for president in 1884. The home was donated to the State of Maine in 1919 by Blaine’s daughter, Harriet Blaine Beale, in memory of her son, Walker Blaine Beal, who was killed in action in World War I.
After our tour of the Blaine House, we will stop for lunch at Cloud 9 Restaurant in Augusta(lunch not included in the cost)
