REDINGTON HOUSE
Waterville Historical Society
62 Silver Street

Waterville pioneer settler Asa Redington, a veteran of three enlistments in the Revolutionary War and a member of George Washington's elite Honor Guard, built the Federal-style Redington Home in 1814 for his son, William. Three generations of Redingtons resided in the house until 1924 when Mrs. William Redington, whose husband was born in the house, donated the property to the Waterville Historical Society.

The house boasts hewn timbers, (all hand pegged), a spiral staircase, fireplaces with period woodwork, and floors of pumpkin pine. Added to the National Historic Register in 1978, the property is the headquarters of the Waterville Historical Society and houses the Redington Museum, which is open to the public.

In 1976, a replica apothecary building was erected to house the extraordinary collections of pharmaceutical antiques donated to the Society by Reginald LaVerdiere.
