The oldest house on the Midcoast [1], the Old Conway Homestead (Rte. 1, Camden, 207/236-2257, www.crmuseum.org [2], 11 a.m.–3 p.m. Tue.–Fri. July–Aug., $1.50) is an excellent example of an 18th-century Cape Cod [3]–style home. Over the years, the local historical association has added to the site with a blacksmith shop, maple sap house, and interpretive center that details early Maine [4] history. The homestead is located on Route 1, two-thirds of a mile south of Camden Village.
