The J.A. Andrew House on Depot Street in South Windham is the birthplace of one of Maine’s favorite sons, John Albion Andrew. He would have been almost 2 years old when Maine became a state in March of 1820. Andrew would later become a lawyer recognized for his eloquent speeches. He’d go on to serve as governor of Massachusetts during the Civil War and was a strong proponent of the abolitionist movement. Courtesy Windham Historical Society
