Nathaniel Felton Houses

The Nathaniel Felton Houses are two historic residences on Felton Street displaying construction methods and details from early New England colonial building practices. Their design reflects how families organized domestic spaces during that period.

The older house was built in 1644 and stands as one of the earliest surviving residences in Peabody. The younger structure was constructed later and shows how building styles evolved in the region.

These houses reveal how people lived and worked during colonial times in New England. The Peabody Historical Society presents exhibits here about crafts, family life, and daily routines of earlier residents.

Visiting these houses requires advance contact with the Peabody Historical Society to schedule a tour. Planning ahead helps you learn about current visiting times and what guided experiences are available.

The Junior House was moved from its original location to its current address by a descendant of the Felton family in the early colonial period. This relocation is a rare example of how historic structures were preserved in the region.
