Francis Land House

Early 19th Century Home

Description

This beautifully restored home was constructed around 1805 to 1810 and is now furnished with period furnishings and decor on display for public tours. Docents demonstrate what daily life was like during the 19th century, when the Land family occupied the home. On any given tour, you'll get to see experienced staff members working on chores such as spinning wool into yarn to make clothes, and tending the garden. The well-maintained gardens planted on the grounds surrounding the home are beautiful, and include an herb garden, a pleasure garden, and other specialty plant areas. The home is an interesting place to visit for both adults and children, and is used as an educational field trip location for school groups throughout the year.
