Old chelmsford garrison house
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The "Old Chelmsford" Garrison House is located in Chelmsford, Massachusetts. In 1691, it was one of 19 British Garrisons in Chelmsford. The house has been preserved by the Garrison House Society as a museum and has been designated as a National Historic Place. The exact date the building was erected is not known, but it is known that Thomas Adams deeded the land to his son, Peletiah Adams, in 1683 and Peletiah deeded the land and house to his two sons in 1702. Before the title passed to the Garrison House Society in 1952, only three families prior had owned it. Very few modifications had been made to it in all that time, making it a wonderful historic showpiece.
The original house shares its lot with a Barn, Summer Kitchen, a working Blacksmith shop, an herb garden, a craft house and the "Hill Jock House", which was recently saved from destruction and moved to the lot shared by the Old Chelmsford Garrison House.
