Clara Barton Homestead, House museum in Oxford, Massachusetts.
The Clara Barton Homestead features a 1½-story Cape style structure with a gabled roof, central chimney, and five symmetrically arranged sash windows.
Built in 1818 by Stephen Barton, this residence was the birthplace of Clara Barton in 1821, where she lived until 1853 before founding the American Red Cross.
The Unitarian-Universalist Federation of Women transformed the property into a museum in 1921 to preserve Clara Barton's contributions to humanitarian service.
The museum operates seasonally and requires appointments for visits, offering guided tours through restored rooms that reflect the period of Clara Barton's residence.
The property includes an original 19th-century barn and stands within the grounds of the Barton Center for Diabetes Education near Clara Barton Road.
