The Fairbanks House-Oldest Timber Frame House in America! Must Watch!

The old house under the elms for nearly 300 years. It has known the sounds of youth and joy. It has known the sound of tears. Think of the stories to tell if only the old house spoke. Think of the memories to be known if the old oak beams awoke. How many babies here born, sweet brides courted and wed. How many tired ones weary of life gone forth to the quiet dead. Springs have come and gone. Summers blossomed and fled. Autumns garner their golden grain. White winters broken and shed. But the old house under the elms stands as in its prime. With the quiet sturdy strength of the folk of an older time. Mary Fairbank Rock 1937
