Margaret's Home

The Library staff leads guided tours of Margaret Chase Smith's house. Built in 1948, it illustrates elements of both the Post-War Ranch and Cape-style architecture. The tours offer an authentic experience of how Senator Smith lived her life, the importance of "home," and her connection with her birthplace of Skowhegan, Maine. The building remains in much the same condition as it was when she lived in it. Each room but one retains its original color scheme and floor plan and contains Chase family heirlooms, furnishings, clothing, paintings, and other personal items she collected throughout her life. The following is a history of Margaret Chase Smith's "Dream Home."
