From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Jacob T. Walden Stone House is on North Montgomery Street (NY 52) near the intersection with Wait Street in Walden, New York. It was built in the 1730s, around the time the thousand-acre (400 ha) Gatehouse Patent was first sold, and is one of the oldest houses remaining in the area today.
Jacob T. Walden, the miller who came to the area from New York and eventually lent the growing village his name, resided there with his family beginning in the 1820s.
Today, it houses the Walden Historical Society, and is open to the public as a museum on a limited basis. In 2005 the exterior underwent extensive restoration.
