Three major fires in the 1920s destroyed many of the town's historic buildings, but the 1825-vintage Moose Head Inn survived. It was a stagecoach inn and in its early years was also used as a courtroom.
During renovation of the basement under the courtroom, a keg of deteriorated gunpowder was discovered; it had been placed directly under the judge's chair.
