The Long Ago Summer Cottages on Little Chebeague Island
Dating back to the 19th century, Little Chebeague Island was home to various farms and a vibrant summer colony centered around a massive Victorian hotel. The occupation of Little Chebeague Island by the Navy in WWII necessitated the eviction of the residents of the 11 summer cottages and other outbuildings. Since that time, the cottages have been uninhabited and left to deteriorate. Lock presents a slide show that shows the cottages as they originally looked and their deterioration to the present day, delving into their history, who lived there, and stories of what life was like.
