History In 1764, Col. Benjamin Shute purchased 100 acres of Maine land on the magnificent coast of Penobscot Bay. He built a log cabin, and a few years later, added a cape-style ell onto a small nearby home – now The Farm at French’s Point is the oldest wooden structure still standing in Waldo County. Fearing attack during the French and Indian War (1754-1760), the Shute family built an underground escape tunnel leading from the house to the shore. Later, the tunnel was used by slaves traveling the underground railroad from the south to freedom in the north, and then for rum running during prohibition in the 1920s. The Shute family sold the cape to William French in 1814, and he built the colonial section onto what soon came to be known as French House. In 1890, the Universalist Church of Bangor took ownership of French House, using it as a cook house and sleeping accommodations for counselors for the nearby Hersey Retreat. The property was purchased and restored by the Brooks Family in 2002.

An Ideal Property The Farm at French’s Point, with its breathtaking views of Old Penobscot Bay, unspoiled blueberry fields and surrounding woods – has become an elegant rental estate, attracting families and corporate guests for reunions, retreats, weddings, holidays and gatherings of all kinds.
