History of Graceart Farm This property, plus additional acreage (over 100 total acres) was purchased by the current owners grandparents, Grace and Arthur Knight, from Frank Merriman in 1924. To buy it, they sold The Nanatuck, which Grace had inherited from her family (Randall). For decades they established and ran a dairy farm, one of three in Harpswell. They also raised small numbers of pigs, ducks, and the occasional orphaned lamb plus numerous acres of hay and vegetables. The soil is still very fertile as a result. Frank Merrimans relative, also a farmer, acquired this farm property by swapping his home and property on the shore with the fisherman who owned it In addition to selling milk, butter and cream from their Holstein cows, they solddressed chickens(hundreds in a day)via the steamboat stopping at Pots Point for delivery to island stores and boarding houses The original owner of the property built skiffs in the upper story of the 1st shed; the floor is designed to open, allowing the boats to be lowered through it
