Gilman Garrison House
Gilman Garrison House, Colonial garrison house in Exeter, United States.
The Gilman Garrison House features massive sawn logs walls, wooden planking, and a gabled roof with clapboarded exterior sections spanning two and a half stories.
Built in 1709 near the Squamscot River, the structure served the Gilman family who operated lucrative sawmills in the region during the colonial period.
The house museum presents the evolution of New Hampshire architecture through preserved rooms, original timber framing, and traditional construction methods from different periods.
The property opens on third Saturdays from June through September, offering guided tours on the hour between 11:00 AM and 4:00 PM at 12 Water Street.
The building contains a preserved pulley system above the main entrance that once operated a portcullis, demonstrating early American defensive architecture.
