ANDREW ROBINSON HOMESTEAD
Andrew Robinson Homestead
Built in 1805 - remained in the Robinson family until 2003 when it was bequeathed to the St George Historical Society.
Admission to all events is free, but donations are always welcome. The Homestead is maintained entirely by volunteers and your donations. For more information or to volunteer at any of our events as a volunteer, baker, or presenter, please email: StGeorgeMaineHistory@gmail.com
View of Homestead with lupines
Although this view of lupine was destroyed by mowing several years ago, the committee is actively working to recreate this beautiful field of wild lupine.
ARH Community Garden
The community garden was started in the Spring of 2022 to take advantage of the agricultural space and rich soil at the Andrew Robinson Homestead. An effort to provide garden space for the community, the original garden has grown to approximately 70’ X 30’ and is divided into 6 plots. Each plot measures approximately 19’ X 15’, providing adequate space to support flowers and vegetables for the everyday gardener. All plots for the 2026 growing season are spoken for. If you would like to be placed on a waiting list for an available plot please email Brian Howard, Community Garden Coordinator at brian.howard.67@gmail.com.
