The Olson House was named a National Historic Landmark in 2011, and it is now a part of the renowned Farnsworth Museum, making it one of the most exciting things to do in Rockland, Maine for Wyeth enthusiasts and art aficionados.

The Olson House is an excellent example of the work of Andrew Jackson Woodson, known as A.J. Wyeth, who was a famous American artist during the late 19th century. He is best known for his paintings of New England coastal towns and villages. The Wyeths were a wealthy family who owned a large tract of land that included five coast-side towns in Maine and three in New Hampshire. They used their money to purchase artwork by other artists, which then became assets to be displayed by them in their homes. So, in a way, the Olson House is both a museum and a private residence.
