Jameson Tavern is an historic building on Main Street in Freeport, Maine, United States. It was completed in 1779, as a home for local physician Dr. John Anglier Hyde, a decade before the town was incorporated and when it was part of North Yarmouth, then in Massachusetts. It stands across the side street Justin's Way from L.L.Bean's flagship store.It became an important meeting place during the discussions regarding the District of Maine's secession from Massachusetts in the early 19th century. It is believed representatives of the Joint Commission of Massachusetts and Maine met on the second floor of the building ("in its northeastern corner") in 1820 to sign the final papers giving Maine its independence, thus giving it the claim that it is the "birthplace of Maine." The Daughters of the American Revolution installed a plaque, describing these events, on the property in 1914. The Freeport Historical Society, meanwhile, has said it has found no record that the commissioners ever met in town.Poets Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and John Greenleaf Whittier, as well as United States president Franklin Pierce, are understood to have visited the tavern.The property was built by Dr. John Anglier Hyde, a local physician. (Hyde's daughter, Mary, married Ebenezer Wells, professor of obstetrics at the Medical School of Maine.) Shortly after the home's completion, it was sold to Captain Samuel Jameson (1766–1814). It was run as a tavern between 1801 and 1828, when Jameson's widow sold it.The tavern became Codman's Tavern, owned by Richard Codman, in 1828. He was the proprietor for 28 years, at which point it was purchased by John Cushing, a local shipbuilder.Today, it is known as Jameson Tavern once again, and it is operated as such, albeit only in the building's rear wing; the main building is now a tourist-information office for visitors to the town. The tavern closed in 2013, but has since reopened. It was put on the market in 2019.As of 2023, Double Barrel, a specialty beer and wine store, occupies the Jameson Tavern formal dining room.

The community is located on Casco Bay, 2.6 miles (4.2 km) south of the village of Freeport. South Freeport has a post office, with ZIP code 04078.South Freeport, the largest of Freeport's waterfront villages, once had four shipyards. Other businesses included fishing, canning and farming. In 1903, the Casco Castle and Amusement Park was built here by Amos F. Gerald of Fairfield to encourage travel by trolley cars. The grounds featured a hotel and restaurant, a picnic area, a baseball field, and a small zoo. The hotel burned in 1914, but its stone tower was spared in the blaze. It stands today on private property. The best place to view the tower is from nearby Winslow Park.

Casco Castle was a resort in South Freeport, Maine, United States. Built in 1903, it was intended to resemble a castle. Designed by William R. Miller and overlooking Casco Bay immediately to its east, it burned down in 1914. All that now remains is its 185-foot (56 m) tall stone tower, which is now on private property, inaccessible to the public. The tower can be viewed from Harraseeket Road, a few yards closer to the shoreline, or from Winslow Memorial Park, directly to the south across the Harraseeket River. The main part of the building was to the south, with the tower on its northern side, connected by a bridge.In 1903, Amos F. Gerald, of Fairfield, Maine, built the castle as a resort, with rooms for around one hundred guests, to encourage travel by trolleycars. It was his second attempt; the first, Merrymeeting Park, in Brunswick, Maine, was a failure. The grounds featured a hotel and restaurant, a picnic area, a baseball field, and a small zoo. The hotel burned in 1914, but its stone tower was spared. It stands today on private property. A popular place from which to view the tower is nearby Winslow Memorial Park.Trolleycars of the Portland & Brunswick Street Railway, of which Gerald was general manager, brought visitors from nearby Freeport. After alighting, they crossed 70 foot (21 m) above Spark Creek on a steel suspension bridge, then climbed steep steps to the hotel's entrance.Casco Castle Park was served by the Harpswell Steamboat Company, whose steamers stopped in South Freeport en route to and from Portland and Harpswell Center.The advent of the automobile contributed to the decline of trolley and steamer travel, and the resort closed in 1914 after an eleven-year run. It reopened the same year with new owners, but a fire broke out and destroyed the hotel. The stone tower survived.A photomechanical print of Casco Castle is in the archives of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
