Zenas Wilder's Barn, Dennysville, Maine

Description

Zenas Wilder's barn is located on Cemetery Road in Dennysville, Maine. It was built next to his house and blacksmith on Shop Hill, one of the oldest structures in the community.

Context

One of the first frame houses in Dennysville was built by Zenas Wilder, an uncle of Ebenezer C. Wilder, Sr. Zenas Wilder was a blacksmith who built his home and barn on the hill overlooking Lincoln's Pond, above Abner Gardner's property. It was occupied continuously by five generations of his descendants,--Zenas, Jr., Pyam, Frederick, Theodore, and Elizabeth (Wilder) Ward. Over the years a larger main house was added to the original structure, and a garage. The original barn, however, is unchanged and still in use.
