Jonathan Fisher Memorial Inc
Blue Hill, Maine

Culture, Historic House, Specialized

Parson Jonathan Fisher was the Congregational minister from 1794 to 1837 in the small village of Blue Hill, Maine. Although his primary duties as a country parson engaged much of his time, Fisher was also a farmer, scientist, mathematician, surveyer, and writer of prose and poetry. He bound his own books, made buttons and hats, designed and built furniture, painted sleighs, was a reporter for the local newspaper, helped found Bangor Theological Seminary, dug wells, built his own home and raised a large family.

Truly a renaissance man in the breadth of his accomplishments Fisher invites comparison with a Franklin or Jefferson.
