"Medfield Historical Society members will tour you through and answer questions or you can walk through [the house] yourself," said town historian Richard DeSorgher. "You can see one of the oldest unchanged houses in the U.S.; with furnishings from a variety of time periods. It was restored to its Colonial look in 1925 when turned over to the  Historical Society."

DeSorgher said when the house is not open for public, it remains open by appointment and is used by several grades throughout the Medfield Public Schools throughout the year.
