William Waldo Dodge,Sr. (1856-1942) and his daughter, Alice Dodge (b. 1901) in a lace-trimmed dress, at the flag pole at Wayside cottage, Haven Colony*, Brooklin, Maine.*Most of the credit for establishing what is known as the Haven Colony in Brooklin, Maine is attributed to Noah Tibbetts who was born in Brooksville, Maine in 1851, went to Washington DC as a young man, and served forty-eight years there in the U.S. Pension Office before retiring to Brooklin, Maine.  He started a boarding house in Brooklin during the late 1800's and then began building cottages and a large dining room for family and friends.  Other cottages followed and the summer community thrived.  Noah originally provided all cottages with services for five to seven dollars per week. In the old days there was a narrow dirt path leading from this level of cottages to Steamboat Road with beautiful and exotic flowers growing along the way.  Haven ladies walked the path from the Dining Hall dressed in their trailing finery to make their morning calls, and later to attend tea and/or evening musicals. From Memories of Haven Colony, Brooklin, Maine
