About Bethel, Maine
Bethel is a town of 2,504 people in Oxford County, on the Androscoggin River below the Mahoosuc Range. In 1769 the Massachusetts General Court granted the land as Sudbury-Canada to Josiah Richardson and others, rewarding those who had fought in the 1690 Battle of Quebec. Nathaniel Segar began clearing a farm in 1774, but the Revolution kept most grantees away. Only 10 families were living there on August 3, 1781, when raiders plundered the settlement in what became the final Indian attack in Maine.
The raiders carried off Segar and Benjamin Clark, who stayed captive in Quebec until the war ended. Peace brought a rush of newcomers, and the plantation became the incorporated town of Bethel on June 10, 1796, taking a Genesis name meaning "House of God." A road between Portland and Errol, New Hampshire, opened through town in 1802 and is now Route 26. Farmers on the rich intervales became known for hay and potatoes, and in winter they logged for the water-powered sawmills.
- The railroad brought summer guestsTrains of the Atlantic and St. Lawrence Railroad reached Bethel on March 10, 1851, bringing city families escaping summer heat. Hotels rose on Bethel Hill and around the common. The largest was the Prospect Hotel, started in 1863 with a cupola for mountain views. From 1897 to 1926, noted musicians came for William Rogers Chapman's Maine Music Festivals. Fire ruined most of the Prospect in 1911, and when cars let tourists roam, trackside hotels lost guests and came down.
- Dr. Mason's house on the commonMoses Mason began practicing medicine here in 1813, when Bethel Hill had just four houses. He became the town's first postmaster and served two terms in Congress. Around 1830 the traveling artist Rufus Porter painted harbor and forest murals in the hall and stairwell of Mason's Broad Street home. The Dr. Moses Mason House still faces the common, and the Bethel Historical Society runs it as a museum.
- Gould Academy since 1836The school opened in 1836 as Bethel Academy and was later renamed for the Reverend Daniel Gould, whose fortune of $842 went to it. Every local child attended high school there until Telstar High School opened in 1969. Starting in 1947, psychologist Kurt Lewin's National Training Laboratories held summer sessions at the academy that shaped the new field of organizational development. In 2008 NTL shifted its headquarters to Alexandria, Virginia, though it still keeps a small summer presence here.
- A clinic that built an innDr. John George Gehring treated nervous disorders at his home on Broad Street, and his clinic drew many wealthy patients. They paid to build the Bethel Inn, which was dedicated to him. The Gehring Clinic is on the National Register.
- Meeting houses on the intervalesThe Middle Intervale Meeting House went up in 1816 to serve Baptists, Congregationalists and the town meeting, and it was remodeled in Greek Revival style in 1857, after which the Baptists used it alone. In East Bethel, Baptists and Methodists shared the Lower Meeting House, built in 1831. Its cemetery dates its first burial to 1817, and Deacon Asa Kimball Jr., founder of Bethel's Baptist congregation, was laid to rest there in 1823.
