Well, look who made the reading list!

We’re delighted to see Mary Ellen Chase’s biography of Jonathan Fisher included in Rising Tide’s top ten books with a local connection to Blue Hill. First published in 1948, it’s a wonderful look at Fisher’s many talents and life in early Blue Hill—and a reminder of why we’re so lucky to have his home, orchard, and story still with us today.

Thanks to Rising Tide for the shoutout! We thought our friends might enjoy this one, too.

As we close our 2026 season, we’re reflecting on what makes the Jonathan Fisher House so special: its place in the story of New England.

Jonathan Fisher was Blue Hill’s first settled minister, but also an artist, farmer, scientist, and craftsman. His home, original belongings, and historic orchard offer a rare glimpse into the ingenuity, creativity, and everyday life that shaped early New England.

Thank you to everyone who visited, volunteered, and supported the Fisher House this season. We’re proud to preserve this little piece of Maine and New England history with our community.

In case you missed it, the Jonathan Fisher House is officially closed for the season, but behind the scenes, there’s still plenty of work underway!

This winter, our dedicated Board and friends are tackling important restoration projects, updating our archives database, and laying the groundwork for what’s ahead. None of this would be possible without the support of our community.

We run a small but mighty operation, which means every gift makes a real difference in preserving Jonathan Fisher’s legacy and keeping local history alive for future generations.

If you’d like to support our work, please consider making a gift through the link in our bio or mailing a check to P.O. Box 537, Blue Hill, ME 04614. For gifts via DAF or stock, please see our donation page for more details, or reach out to us here.

Thank you for being part of the Jonathan Fisher House community and helping us carry this work forward.

Thank you to everyone who came out to our annual Autumn Celebration & C***r Pressing! 🍁🌻🧀🌽

This event brings us a lot of joy. It’s a time to slow down, reflect on an incredible year, and celebrate with those that strengthen and help celebrate the Jonathan Fisher House.

We’re grateful for you, thank you for an incredible year!

This May, we received a generous $10,000 grant from the 1772_foundation and mainepreservation to support our ongoing preservation work at the Jonathan Fisher House.

This funding will go directly toward essential material preservation efforts and builds on the $247,000 grant we received earlier this year through the Historic Buildings Community Grant Program. We’re grateful for the State’s continued investment in preserving Maine’s historic places.

Preservation is about more than maintaining old buildings. It’s about protecting the stories, history, and identity of our communities for generations to come. We’re thankful to Maine Preservation, the State, and the 1772 Foundation for believing in this work and helping us carry it forward.

Thank you for making this possible!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for a wonderful brunch at the historic Parker House in Blue Hill!

We’re especially grateful to John Bates for opening his home and helping make the morning possible. It was a great opportunity to gather with friends of the Jonathan Fisher House, enjoy good food and conversation, and gather in celebration of the historic places that nurture and define our community.

Join us next on Sunday, October 11 from noon–2 PM at the Jonathan Fisher House for our annual autumn celebration and Apple C***r Pressing. We’ll have live music, refreshments, orchard tours, and community c***r pressing. Bring some apples if you have them!

We hope to see you there.
