Chace-Cory House Museum Special Exhibit

The early 18th century dwelling, headquarters of the Tiverton Historical Society, with its early outbuildings, flax and flower and herb gardens, is open with tours Sundays from 2 to 4:30 PM for the summer season. The Society's collection of early American antiques and furnishings are displayed in restored period rooms, as well as artifacts from Tiverton's rich past. This season, a special exhibit of antique quilts are displayed throughout the rooms, including one made from the Continental Army uniform of Gen. Wadsworth and another from his descendant. There are also two others made from unique dyes - one from the Civil War era with the colors depicting the "true" reason why the war was fought.
 

Outbuildings include the wash house, corn crib, and outhouse. The entrance is through the museum shop where historical books, Tiverton mugs and ornaments, Tiverton Revolutionary militia placemats, copies of early Tiverton maps, and other items may be purchased.

The Chace-Cory House is located at 3908 Main Road, over the wall from Gray's Ice Cream at Tiverton Four Corners, and is open from 2-4:30 PM Sundays, June 2-Sept. 1 or by appointment.  For more information on future programs, visit our website at www.tivertonhistorical.org.
