Cudworth House

The Cudworth House is on land granted to Richard Garrett before 1646. In 1728 Jael Garrett sold the dwelling house and land to James Cudworth. Ownership passed to his grandson, Zephaniah, who built the present house in 1797 around the original chimney. In 1851 Israel Thorndike purchased the property from the Cudworths, and in 1916 it became the property of the town. The shed houses a loom which is being used today in much the same manner as it was 250 years ago. On display in the barn are a coach used by the Marquis de Lafayette in Philadelphia, equipment used by cobblers, and farm implements necessary to the livelihood of the early settlers.
