The Edward Penniman House and Barn features a prominent cupola overlooking the surrounding fields and includes modern amenities from the 1860s construction period.
Built in 1868 by whaling captain Edward Penniman, who started his maritime career at age 29 and constructed this estate upon retirement from sea voyages.
