Montpelier at Thomaston by BruceDunning
The original home was built by Henry Knox, GEneral in Revolutionary War, in 1795. He died in 1806. They couple had 123 children, but only 3 lived to maturity at 20 years. Henry's wife came form the Waldo family, who owned 560,000 acres of land in the area. They were loyal to King George and went back to England at the War. They disowned the daughter. Siblings lived here until 1871. The home on the ocean side was in disrepair. Daughter of Revolution found the building plans and reconstructed to original state a new home in 1920. One son remaining left much of the family furnishings to the new home. It is elegant inside and worth a tour for $5. Times June 1st through mid October.
