Steeped in history and thoughtfully restored, the Annie Woodbury House is a rare gem that seamlessly blends historic charm with modern comfort. Originally built in 1855 and later purchased by George W. Woodbury in 1872, this stately 4 bedroom, 2 bath home has been a landmark at the heart of what was once Danville, Maine. The Woodbury family name is deeply woven into the fabric of the region, with True Woodbury among the original settlers in the late 1700s. The home was later inherited by George's daughter, Annie Woodbury, a beloved schoolteacher who lived here until her passing in 1983. Annie was well known in the community, and her legacy was honored with the founding of the Annie Woodbury School in Auburn in the 1990s.
