Claflin-Gerrish-Richards House

Discover how families lived during the 17th century — in the Claflin-Gerrish-Richards House, listed on the National Register of Historic Places and one of the earliest dwellings on the North Shore. Of particular interest are the original Ogee braces, an architectural detail typically found in 16th-century English dwellings.

Self-Guided Visits

Take a step back in time with a self-guided visit to our historic house.  The house offers hands-on opportunities to experience life during the 17th century.  The house is open daily during museum hours.

**Please note, when school groups are visiting the house, the house will be closed to our visitors until the group tour has exited the house.
