Plan your visit to our town’s Fairly Old House—a local history museum that’s somehow the fourth most popular thing to do here, according to TripAdvisor.
Why is this relatively old house so remarkable? It isn’t. But it is one that didn’t burn down over the course of multiple fires. Sure, it’s not as notably historic as you might assume it would take for something to be declared a landmark, but it’s probably pretty old compared to the buildings where you live. (Boston excluded.)
Legend has it, however, that President William McKinley once briefly used the outhouse here while on a whistle-stop tour. (No official documentation of this occurrence has ever been verified or unearthed.)
After you drop your suggested donation admission of one dollar into a plexiglass cube that contains mostly pennies, you’ll be greeted by our pair of volunteer docents, two retirees in tan polyester vests who look the way old people used to look when you were a kid. They’re here to answer any questions you won’t have and to hover in the next room as you take a trip back in time.
For most impacted communities, the cruelty of the system has long been a constant regardless of which party controls the White House.
