The Spurr House invites the community to an open house at 7 Parkman St. on Saturday, Sept. 12, from 10 a.m. to noon.
Built in 1849, the Spurr House is now owned by the town since the Forbes family donated it in 1933.

As announced, the American Legion used this home as a meeting place, but it’s been vacant since 2014.
“A Spurr House Committee was appointed at March Town Meeting to develop recommendations for the ultimate disposition of the house and property and present at the October 19 Town Meeting. Since then, the~ Committee has been conducting community outreach to assist with its research and findings.”
