This house, which is part of a set of

in 1918. His name was Moses Martin,
who explored the valley of the Sebasti-

long after 1870, and in 1894 he moved
his family from Norridgewock and
built his log cabin in a clearing on the
river bank about two miles below the
present village A few years later he
built the house that now stands there.
