Newbury
Coffin House
With rooms reflecting the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries, Coffin House chronicles the evolution of domestic life in rural New England over three centuries. Built in 1654 the house began as a simple two-room dwelling. Over the centuries as the family grew and finances became more readily available the dwelling was enlarged to accommodate different generations living under one roof. Of particular interest are the early kitchens and buttery. Open: June through October 15 on the first and third Saturday of the month and by appointment. Tours at 11 a.m., noon, 1 p.m., 2 p.m., 3 p.m. and 4 p.m.
