The main house here at Clewley Farm was at one
time a stop for the stage line and drovers driving
their cattle to the Bangor market.
The "air" line road was cleared in the fall of
1822 using the old portages between Bangor and Calais
as a more direct route. Its passage over the almost
1000 foot high hills led to local humorists to call it
the "air" line road as opposed to the lower
"shoreline" rout of the King's Highway. The
proprietors of the stage line along the shore road did
not like the competition so they tried their best to
keep passengers from patronizing the new line. They
told how the wolves chased the stages on the new route
through the woods and published a picture to prove it.
This backfired because men wanted to see wolves and
get a chance to shoot them. And, so the old Airline
became known as the "Wolf Route" for a time.
After 1830 the Airline Road became an especially
important route for Irish immigrants who had landed in
the Maritimes to enter New England. It allowed
passage for Maritimers, Acadians, Algonquians and as
well as Loyalist descendants who were in the process
of re-establishing family ties in the United States.

Located only eight miles east of Bangor - Brewer on Route 9 is Clewley Farm Restaurant. The main dinning room with its view of Blackcap Mountain and Woodchuck Hill. The "Back Porch" dinning room has expansive windows overlooking the herb and flower gardens and beyond is the pasture with Jacob - Scottish Blackface sheep. Off the "Back Porch" is the patio area with its spacious lawn, picnic tables and ancient oak trees. The menu at Clewley Farm Restaurant features Maine cuisine from our own baked beans to steaming bowls of lobster stew. Breads and desserts are from our own kitchens. Much of the special greens and heirloom vegetables are grown in our own gardens or from local farmers. In the fall apples are gathered from the orchard that was started by the owners grandfather over a century ago.
