Welcome to Lincoln, Maine!

The Congregational Church in Burlington, from an old postcard (year unknown).

George King brought us a photo of a church in Mattawamkeag. The building was built around 1900, and was torn down a few years ago to make way for new construction at the Mattawamkeag Church of God. All that remains from the old church is the bell. George built a display for the bell, which can be seen in the inset photo.

The interior of the Congregational church, year unknown.

At some point, the Congregational Church building was turned around. The front door originally faced away from School Street as shown in this photo.

This photo also shows the Congregational Church before it was turned. The picture must have been taken after the one above it, as there has been a small house added. The original Mattanawcook Academy can be seen in the background.

Lincoln's Methodist Church in May of 1929.

The Lincoln Center Baptist Church, with a Ford Model T parked in the driveway (sometime after 1908). This is the oldest church building in the Lincoln area, built in the 1840s.

This 1948 photo shows the Lincoln Center Church of God. The church was started by Leslie Ayers in the 1920s. The building was once a school.

This photo was taken in the Lincoln Center Church of God in the 1940s.

The photos above were taken in 1948 at a Sunday School rally at the Lincoln Center Church of God.

Brother and Sister Grindell shown at the Full Gospel Tabernacle on Fleming St. Brother Grindell was the church's first pastor.

The Lee Baptist Church, year unknown, from a postcard published by Miss Celia Chapman of Lee. Celia owned a store at the corner of the Lee Road and the East Winn Road until the 1930s when the store burned. Celia died in the fire. The card was sent to Mrs. Anna Currie Crocker of Lee, who died in 1921, so the photo was taken sometime before then.
