Old Chelmsford Garrison House
Old Chelmsford Garrison House, Colonial garrison house in Chelmsford, Massachusetts.
The Old Chelmsford Garrison House features thick stone walls, gun-stock posts, and a central fieldstone chimney that extends through multiple floors of the structure.
Built after 1700, the house belonged to only three families until 1952, starting with Thomas Adams who received the land grant from Chelmsford town in 1683.
The residence contains period furniture, household items, and farming equipment that demonstrate daily colonial life in Massachusetts during the early settlement period.
Visitors can explore multiple buildings on site, including a working blacksmith shop, summer kitchen, craft house, and barn filled with agricultural implements.
The structure maintains its original architectural elements, including a 17-inch wide chamfered summer beam that supports the second floor of the house.
