Gilman Road
Gilman Road is a prominent street in Yarmouth, Maine, United States. It runs for about 1.7 miles (2.7 km) from Lafayette Street (State Route 88) in the northwest to the Ellis C. Snodgrass Memorial Bridge at White's Cove in the southeast. At the bridge, which connects the Yarmouth mainland to Cousins Island, the road becomes Cousins Road. One of the first streets laid out in the town, it was later named for Tristram Gilman, the fourth pastor of the Meetinghouse under the Ledge, which stood near the road's intersection with today's Lafayette Street between 1729 and 1836, prior to Yarmouth's secession from North Yarmouth. (He was also the original 1771 occupant of what is now known as the Gilman Manse, which is located at 463 Lafayette Street.) A 2021 Historic Preservation Advisory Ordinance identified ten Local Historic Landmarks, three Historic Districts and three Historic Objects. Many are located in the Gilman Road and Pleasant Street areas, which leads to the possibility of it being a future historic district. Yarmouth's West Side Trail crosses Gilman Road a short distance east of the Pioneer Cemetery.
