The Maj. Reuben Colburn House, seen here May 6, once was approached chiefly from the Kennebec River. Now it stands alongside Pittston’s Arnold Road, which was the original Route 27 until the state widened and straightened the highway several decades ago, moving it slightly east of the house. The 2.5-story section of the home was built in 1765. The ell, at right, appeared much later. Kennebec Journal photo by Joseph Owen

The carriage house at the Colburn House State Historic Site, seen May 6 in the foreground at right, needs repair, like the main house, at left. The barn in the background at right is in better shape. It hosts occasional meetings of the Arnold Expedition Historical Society and other events.
