Desert of Maine in Freeport proposes last round of projects toward rebirth

TIMES RECORD • December 6, 2021

Freeport’s Desert of Maine is pitching a final round of projects in its multi-year, multi-million-dollar revitalization push aimed at cementing the landmark as an educational and artistic hub. The last of the projects include up to 18 A-frame guest cabins, the reconstruction of an 1800s farmhouse for a living history museum and the restoration of the Tuttle Barn — a structure originally built in the 1840s that would serve as a year-round music and community-use venue.
