The c. 1757 Thomas Smith House and 1920 Delmore Hawthorne Garage will be open for tours.
Master stone carver & gravestone conservator Randall Nelson will be onsite to talk about his work carving replicas of badly deteriorated gravestones of Revolutionary War veterans as replacements for the original stones.
The National Register-listed Thomas Smith House is one of a few remaining resources from Feeding Hills’ eighteenth century agricultural past, and is significant architecturally as an unusually intact example of eighteenth century building practices and a rare surviving example of mid- to late-eighteenth century Connecticut River Valley design and materials.
The Hawthorne Garage illustrates the property’s evolution from agricultural to suburban setting that took place in the early twentieth century.
