ABOUT THE BROWNE HOUSE

Built between 1694 and 1701 for a farming family, Browne House contains rare surviving architectural features from the late 1600s and shows how a family lived in what was considered a “mansion house” at the time. The house is open for visitors to tour on select days May through October.
