Dedham, Maine is a town in Hancock County. The population was 1,681 at the 2010 census. The town includes the site of a Cold War airplane crash on Bald Mountain.[1]

The Lake House, on this route, also known as “Lucerne Inn” was run by John L. Phillips in the early days and is the center of “Lucerne-in-Maine”, the beauty spot of America. Because the old Massachusetts Colony at Dedham Village was known for years as “New Boston”, the inhabitants were accused of “putting on airs”.[2]

Dedham has a mountain group with Bald Mt. the highest at 1261 feet above sea level. Here ten mountains are clustered, with their hill children all around. It has gained the name of “Switzerland of America”. These mountains are mostly of porphyritic granite with black mica. They are mostly wooded except for “Old Bald”.[2]

Lakes of exquisite beauty lie among these hills and mountains, some so close they mirror the tops of the mountains in their waters. Brooks where decades of anglers have fished flow from these lakes. Fitts Pond, later called Phillips Lake, is the largest, having an area of three square miles and a circumference of twelve miles.[2]
