Initial structure built in 1782 and completed in 1820. In the 1880s, John Mark Moses, the famous authority on genealogy, lived here and spent much of his time studying the early history of the region. His work is captured in three volumes that can be found at the NH Historical Society. The site was the largest peach orchard in NH (no longer in operation).
