About This Trail

Imported description

The 35 acres of Sewell Woods was donated to the land trust by Albert G. Sewell. Albert Sewell started a company that grew to have mills in Gorham, Waldoboro, and Bridgton. White pine and balsam fir were sold directly on the market. The trees used in the manufacturing of shingles, ladders, shoeracks, lawn chairs, camp stools, and lobster traps were: beech, maple, oak, and birch. There are many walking trails and bridges over the Stuart brook.
