Introduction

History

Restoration

The house, like the barn, was built in sections, reflecting the changing needs of the family.  The earliest part (stone section, west - left in the photos below) dates to the late 18th century.  The center hall and parlor were added around 1840, and the "modern" kitchen around 1900.  For many years the house contained the farm's offices, reception area, gift shop and classroom.  These are now located in the visitor center and work is underway to restore and furnish the house to reflect its historic uses.
