John T. Rosborough bought the C.C. Burrell & Son Agency / George Mahoney Agency in 1952. These entities were in the insurance business dating from the early 1800's and were the oldest active agency in the state of Maine. J.T. Rosborough then moved to 71-73 Main Street and in 1976 moved to our present location of 214 Main Street. This location is a completed renovated Victorian home that is listed on the Historic Register. The sons of John T. Rosborough, Mark and Duncan, became the present owners in 1985 and are both active in the business.

In 1996 the J.T. Rosborough Family was awarded the Top Drawer Award for the Ellsworth Chamber of Commerce in recognition of their contribution to the growth and development of Ellsworth, the county of Hancock and the state of Maine.
