Our family are Direct Descendants of Jonathan and Grace Fairbanks. This wonderful, historic house, THE Oldest Timber Frame House still standing in the USA, is a must see for lovers of history. Such a complex story of the Fairbanks family. We received a Genealogy back in 1989 from a family member who did this the hard way. Before the internet and Ancestry, Family Search and others. After recently doing my own research and finding out the old Genealogy was completely accurate, I decided to reach out to the Museum this past winter to volunteer some of my time for whatever they might need. I now have completed a month of training to be a Docent, interpreting the rooms of the house for our guests. Very excited to have learned so much more about the construction of the old Homestead and of the Culture of 17th Century Colonists. If you are a lover of History, especially First Period Colonial life, The Fairbanks House is most definitely a "Bucket List" destination. It teaches us many things and how the house and family changed with the times, and how the house really didn't change on the inside after 8 generations lived there. Very proud of this amazing, important, historic house and the story behind it. And of course, that we are modern day members of the ongoing History. I can go on forever!!!!! Love this place!!!!!!!
