Richard Jackson House

The Richard Jackson House features a central chimney, two stories with two rooms on each floor, and a steep-roofed lean-to extension at the back.

Built in 1664 by woodworker Richard Jackson, this wooden structure stands as the oldest surviving house in New Hampshire and received National Historic Landmark status in 1968.

Seven generations of the Jackson family maintained the property for over 250 years, preserving traditional New England architectural elements and colonial craftsmanship.

The museum opens twice monthly on Saturdays from June through October, with guided tours available between 11:30 AM and 2:30 PM at 76 Northwest Street.

The house faces North Mill Pond rather than Northwest Street because water transportation held greater importance than roads during colonial times.
