Wilbor House

History

The property includes eight buildings of historical significance, six of which were part of the Wilbor farmstead, a complex that was used for farming between 1690, when the east end of the house was built, and 1955, when the property was acquired by the historical society. The house is a 2½-story wood-frame structure, whose oldest portion was a stone ender built by Samuel Wilbor (1664–1740), and whose western half was added c.1740, giving it a Georgian appearance. Two ells were added c.1860, and additional expansions were made in 1967. The five farm outbuildings include an 18th-century outhouse, a c.1800 barn, and corn crib and carriage house, both of which were built c.1850. Two additional non-contributing structures are on the property, the frame of a c.1750 barn covered in modern materials, and a modern replica of an 18th-century schoolhouse.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.
