The “Old Chelmsford” Garrison House
Located in Chelmsford, Massachusetts, the “Old Chelmsford” Garrison House was one of 19 British garrisons in Chelmsford in 1691. The house has been designated as a National Historical Place and is a practically unspoiled museum piece. It is a rare example of where and how the common family lived in the early days. Inside, the house is furnished with beautiful antique furniture and dishes, clothes, cooking equipment, and many other items that a family would have used in their everyday life.
In addition to the house, we have a barn with a fascinating collection of old farm tools and vehicles, a summer kitchen, a working blacksmith shop, an herb garden, the craft house, the Hill Jock House, the Fiske House barn, the Loudon Building, and the DeWolf-Clark Building.
