This is the Frank and Pearl Roberts farm located on the Leeman Road in Abbot. The house is still standing, but the barn collapsed back in the 1970's and the surrounding farmland has grown up to trees. The house remains in the Roberts family and is owned by the surviving children, Katheryn Roberts Sakahara, and Norman Roberts.

Seth Bessey owned this farm in 1920’s.

Hi M.,

Thanks for commenting on the Vintage Aerial photo! Can you remember any specific stories from the time that Seth Bessey owned the farm? Or perhaps, are there any notable changes that have happened in the area since 1963? We'd love to hear more about the history and character of Piscataquis County.

Best,
