1699 Historic Winslow House

The Historic Winslow House was built circa 1700 for the Hon. Isaac Winslow (1671–1738) at the place named “Careswell” after their family home “Kerswell” in Worcestershire, England. This was the third house built on land granted to Gov. Edward Winslow in the 1630s. This classic first period colonial mansion embodies this nation’s early history and the occupants of the Winslow House served prominently in political, military, and social circles from the beginnings of Massachusetts until 1819. A tea room and barn were added on in the 1920s when the Historic Winslow House Association acquired the property. Since 2000 it has been listed on the National Registry of Historic Places. The Association invites all who love history to join in preserving this majestic property.
