Sistine Chapel of Maine (South Solon Meetinghouse)
Built in 1842, the South Solon Meetinghouse — affectionately dubbed the 'Sistine Chapel of Maine' — is an extraordinary rural Gothic Revival church located in Somerset County, Maine. Celebrated for its breathtaking interior covered entirely in mid-20th-century fresco murals created by artists from the nearby Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, this historic sanctuary is equally famous for local reports of ghostly organ music, phantom footsteps, and glowing apparitions seen near the choir loft.
