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!!!!!!!
