We got this placed mixed up with Lot #1 in Plymouth. We drove an hour to get to Durham and the house was not open due to COVID. So we had no clue about the history of this home. My husband and I snapped plenty of pictures and hopped back on the road. Curious about the history and significance of the home. The house was a flashback of the past. Was set in the midst of a nice neighborhood. Near a school and had a playground across the street. Was an interesting find.
Incredible trip back in time!
This was such a fun place to visit! The curator was great to listen to, he mixed his knowledge with humor and could answer any question we asked. The Fairbanks house has a ton of history and most everything there was original to the home! We were staying at a house nearby for a wedding and just happened to read about the house and decided to go on our way out. So glad we did!
This is allegedly the oldest wooden structure still standing in America. It's quite an amazing place to visit if you're interested in American history. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable of the home's history and the family's history. Just being inside and able to feel such an old home was quite special to me as I love this stuff. If you're not interested in history you wouldn't really enjoy the Fairbanks house. I highly recomend this place, particularly if you love American history. It's quite a unique and special place, with an incredible story.
We found out years ago while researching our family tree that my husbands 12xs great grandparents had this house built and it has been on our bucket list. We finally got there and LOVED it. So much history packed into one home. My kids 5-10, my husband, our friend and myself all found it to be so interesting we've been talking about it ever since we left. The docent was very knowledgeable and a wonderful conversationalist. We even got to meet the curator and speak briefly with him, this was a treat.
