Containing one of Maine's earliest existing homes, the John Sedgley Homestead illustrates the evolution of a colonial era homestead. It is made-up of a variety of structures, including a c.1715 cape (pictured), farmhouse, carriage house, stable, and two additional outbuildings. John Sedgley was gifted the land by his father-in-law after marrying Elizabeth Adams. The cape was constructed as the couples first home. It is a low-posted, one-story dwelling with a side-gabled roof, sheathed in clapboards. The facade is asymmetrical with the entry just off center.

Brickett Place, located on Evans Notch Road (Route 113) in Stow, is an uncommon example of a Federal-era brick farmhouse. It was built by John Brickett using locally fired bricks and hand-hewn timber for his family, which grew to include nine children. The house features simple details such as flat brick arches over the windows and a three-light transom above the entry door and is distinctive for its almost square footprint. Brickett came to Maine from New Hampshire in c.1803. He built his house before purchasing the land it occupied. He eventually purchased it and 50 acres in 1820.

Located on either side of Route 25 just before its intersection with Route 35, the Standish Corner Historic District consists of four buildings dating from the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. A fifth house that was originally part of the district has been demolished. The buildings in the district are similar in scale, orientation, and setbacks from the road. Wood framed and sheathed in clapboards, all were originally residences. Their facades are symmetrical with central entries. The Daniel Marrett House is the oldest, built in 1789, and now a museum property.

Located north of Birch Point looking out into Machias Bay, Fort O'Brien dates to the Revolutionary War and its first naval battle. A few weeks after the shots at Lexington and Concord were fired, the British ship Margaretta escorted a Machiasport shipowner, Ichabod Jones, to the fort to ensure he returned to Boston with lumber needed for the construction of barracks. The townspeople, led by Jeremiah O'Brien, retaliated and captured the Margaretta. A few weeks later the British sent reinforcements.

Job Burnham built this tavern on Main Street. It looks much like it did in 1770. It is two stories tall with a gambrel roof and central chimney. The tavern sits on a stone foundation overlooking the Machias River. Its yellow paint and clapboard siding are appropriate to the colonial era as are the small panes of glass in the windows and above the door. The gambrel roof is indented with small windows on the second story. The tavern was constructed seven years after the first settlers arrived in Machias and played a role in the American Revolution.
