Oldest House in Original Village

The original house dates back to 1810 when it served the family of Joseph and Eleanor Doolittle. They were most likely part of the growing settlement of English in the area who had made their way from Connecticut and Massachusetts toward the end of the eighteenth and early-nineteenth century.
