William Rogers Chapman (1855-1935) summer home in Mayville: Prof. Chapman stabled his Bethel racing trotting horses here and in 1910 invited his Maine Music Fes-tival picnic guests to gather for a group photo. The photo of his sheep herd was taken in the field directly across the road from his house.
The Chapmans stayed in a special suite at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City during the winter. The hotel was the headquarters for the Rubenstein Chorus which he directed.
