Liberty Farm, Historic residence in Worcester, United States.
Liberty Farm features a Federal style brick construction with five bays, Doric columns supporting the portico, and decorative sidelight windows at 116 Mower Street.
Built in 1810, Liberty Farm gained recognition as a National Historic Landmark in 1974 due to its role in the Underground Railroad network during the 19th century.
Between 1847 and 1881, abolitionists Abby Kelley Foster and Stephen Symonds Foster used this property as their residence while advocating for social reforms.
The property maintains its residential function and stands as a testament to early American architecture with its original fireplace surrounds and period details.
The Fosters challenged taxation policies by refusing to pay property taxes because Abby, as a woman, did not have voting rights in the 19th century.
