History and description
The district contains the Walter Hatch Homestead, a house built in ca. 1647, which is reputedly the oldest continuously lived-in house in the United States. Author Sarah Messer grew up in the house, and featured the house in her book, Red House: Being a Mostly Accurate Account of New England's Oldest Continuously Lived-In House.[2] The historic district also contains the Hatch Mill, built in 1759, which is the last working water mill on the North River. The historic district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.
