Seeking a quiet coastal getaway?
The Willett House is a charming 19th century home on a property adjacent to the University of Maine’s Darling Marine Center, on the shore of the Damariscotta River.

Willett House history
The property was donated to UMaine in 1975 by George Willett, a friend and contemporary of Ira C. Darling. Over the years it has been a favorite retreat for scientists conducting research at the DMC.
