Building

Hezekiah Dunham House

The Dunham House, built in 1832 by Hezekiah Dunham and his wife, sits across Broadway from the Square (or Commons). A succession of owners have made this their home, culminating with Richard and Anne Sedlon. In 1984 the Historical Society acquired the property and embarked on a renovation campaign. Its been a Victorian-style museum since and this year has been the subject of ideas for further use.
