The Trescott Historical
Society is a private membership organization and is open to the
public. We are dedicated to the study and publication of the history
of the Township of Trescott, Maine. The now-unincorporated town of
Trescott is nestled between the towns of Whiting & Cutler to the
west, and Lubec to the east. To the north are the shores of Whiting
Bay and Straight Bay, and to the south is Grand Manan Channel in the
mouth of the Bay of Fundy.
Formerly known as Plantation No. 9, it was incorporated in 1827,
named after Major Lemuel Trescott (1751-1826), a patriot from the
American Revolution, who had moved to the area in 1784, and had
become a prominent citizen. During those early days, the town of
Trescott was busy with lumbering, farming and
fishing.
