SUMMARY:Open House with Martin House Farm
DESCRIPTION:The Colonial Dames of Massachusetts invite all to a sneak preview of the Martin House Farm\, before its summer opening.   Sometime between 1728 and 1734\, John Martin’s son\, John Martin the younger\, built a house for his wife and eight children consisting of a one-room dwelling with a loft above and an outside chimney.  Two additions were added in 1814 and in the late 19th century. \nVisitors today can enjoy the house which has not been physically altered since the last additions. It is now filled with collections from the Martin family who lived on the farm for 200 continuous years. The property also includes two barns and cultivated fields surrounded by dry stone walls and woodlands. Enjoy the 250th story walk around the property.  \nPhoto credit of Martin House: By Tim Pierce – Own work\, CC BY-SA 3.0\, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=21542909
