The Houghton Sprague Garrison House: A Historical Detective Story

The Houghton Sprague Garrison House: A Historical Detective Story

The Houghton Sprague Garrison House  was built in the late 1600's. This Garrison is thought to be the oldest remaining house in Harvard. A Garrison was a fortified house where the settlers would gather in times of danger.  This house remained in the care of only a few families since it was built.  It is a fascinating example of a very early New England house. Robert Adam, a noted preservation specialist, is currently working on an extensive historic restoration and will share details of his detective work on the house.
