Free admission for Watertown residents and Historic New
England members to the rarely open Browne House. Constructed between 1694 and
1701 for a farming family, Browne House contains rare surviving architectural
features from the late seventeenth century. In a near ruinous state when it was
acquired by Historic New England founder William Sumner Appleton in 1919, the
house was painstakingly restored in what is acknowledged to be the first fully
documented restoration in America.
