Thanks to the Camden Real Estate Company and their donation of time and services, we can now offer a virtual tour of three of our historic buildings. Browse the photos below to view details of the property and buildings or take a virtual tour.
Our five-acre campus, which includes five buildings open to the public, is an ideal setting for community events and gatherings. It is maintained year-round by Jackson Landscaping, thanks to the generosity of Honorary Board member Tom Jackson.Garden is open to the public from June 1 to September 30.A garden typical of that used by occupants of the Homestead in the 18th century would include medicinal, dye, cooking, and ornamental plants. Our garden is maintained by Gabrielle Wicklow, a Camden master gardener.The 1770s homestead, also locally known as the Conway House, was continually occupied as a residence from about 1775 to 1912. It is currently maintained as it was during that period.
The 19th century blacksmith shop was moved, completely equipped, from our campus near Warren. It is open to the public spring through fall, as part of a guided tour. The building on the right is a caretaker’s cottage, also moved to this site from another location in the 1980s. It is currently occupied as a private residence and is not open to the public.
The 19th century barn was built later than the homestead. It was built to store farm equipment, house livestock, and serve as a workspace for other activities on the property. It is open to the public from spring through fall as part of a guided tour.
