mini-vacation.  Known as the first woman to hold a presidential cabinet position and the \u201cWoman behind the New Deal,\u201d Frances Perkins championed many labor rights that Americans enjoy today, including safety standards, Social Security, and shorter workweeks. Her impressive career and accomplishments, including as Secretary of Labor, opened the door for other women to hold high government positions.  <br><br>The 57-acre historic homestead, which belonged to the Perkins family for more than 270 years, includes a family home built in 1837 known as the Brick House. Near the house are historic farm buildings used for the saltwater farm and remnants of wharves, clay pits, and kilns connected with the family\u2019s 19th-century brick-making business. The house and farm buildings often contain artifacts and documents used by generations of the Perkins family.  <br><br>We explored the exhibits in the barn and walked the paths to walk in Perkins\u2019 steps as she would use the trails to see stunning views of the gardens, fields, forest, and Damariscotta River.  The house is not yet available for tours, as the grandson only moved out 2 years ago.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;galleryId&quot;:&quot;6a5950535b9c2&quot;}\"
