This house was built (c1870's) by the Noak Larsson family, and was
owned and occupied by the George Ostlund family 1910-1989. Maine's
Swedish Colony, Inc. purchased the 40 acre property in 1989, and
the exterior of the house, potato cellar and garage have been
restored. Restoration work is continuing. The house is listed on
the National Register of Historic places.
THE LARS NOAK BLACKSMITH AND WOODWORKING SHOP was built by Lars
Noak (the son of Noak Larsson) about 1900 on the hill known as Mt.
Ararat. It is located across the road from the Log House. The Shop
was operated until about 1940 and has been preserved in its
original condition since then. Many demonstrations and "open house"
functions are held during the summer months. This building is also
listed on the National Register of Historic places.
The cache is located very close to this place. Once you find it,
please put it back in it's original spot the way you found it.
Thanks!
