1753 House, Colonial building in Williamstown, United States
The 1753 House stands as a regulation settler's home replica with wooden beams, split shingles, and a central stone fireplace in Field Park.
Local volunteers constructed this building in 1953 to commemorate the bicentennial of Williamstown, following original eighteenth-century construction methods and materials.
The structure represents living conditions of early Massachusetts settlers who received land titles after building houses measuring 15 by 18 feet and clearing 5 acres.
The house opens for weekend visits during summer months, offering educational programs about colonial construction methods and daily life in early American settlements.
The building contains a functioning fireplace made from stones of the first mill in Williamstown, creating a connection to the earliest industrial activities of the region.
