Dear friend,

Bellevue’s 180-year-old Tremont House has seen a lot. It originally served as a hotel for stagecoach travelers. Cigars were manufactured there, groceries were sold, prescriptions were filled, deals were made. Bellevueans hung from its balconies to see parades, street fairs, and US Presidents.

This unique and beautiful building has been under restoration since the Bellevue Historical Society purchased it in 2002. Slowly and carefully, paying for construction and repairs as we went, the exterior of this jewel on Bellevue's Main Street has been restored and we are making serious headway on the first-floor interior as a showcase of Bellevue history. All of this has been accomplished with no paid staff.
