6. Memorial house.

This was built in 1930-31. The furnishings are of the 1700-50 period.

One item, a tilt-top table, is the only existing piece of furniture said

to have been in the original house at Wakefield, having been saved at

the time of the fire in 1779. Much of the pottery, porcelain, glassware,

tableware, and metalware in the house are similar in period and style to

many of the artifacts which were unearthed near the birthsite during

archeological excavations.
