Old Home Day

1638 - Town of Hampton - 1960

73 Exeter Road

Built in 1648 for Godfrey Dearborn this house is believed to be the first frame building erected in the colony. Part of the original house still stands. It is probably the oldest frame dwelling in Rockingham County, and is now (1960) the home of Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Bourn.
