About Frances Perkins National Monument
Frances Perkins National Monument is a historic site that preserves the Perkins Homestead (also known as the Brick House), a homestead at 478 River Road in Newcastle, Maine, United States. The 57-acre (23 ha) property, including its 1837 brick farmhouse, was designated a National Historic Landmark and a national monument for its association with the life of Frances Perkins (1880–1965), the first woman to hold a position in the United States Cabinet, who spent many years at the property, as a child and in her later years.
