Trivia

What is the Gaol in York?

Answer

A Colonial prison built in 1656 and rebuilt in 1719 from timbers salvaged from the original structure. With the influx of settlers into Maine in the mid-eighteenth century, the building was enlarged to provide more space to house criminals, as well as to improve living quarters for the gaoler’s family. The jail became a museum in 1900.
