MASSASOIT HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION'S MAXWELL HOUSE

WARREN, RI

The Massasoit Historical Association's Maxwell House is a historic building located in Warren, Rhode Island. The house was built in 1750 and is a well-preserved example of colonial architecture. Originally owned by John Maxwell, a wealthy merchant and ship owner, the house remained in the Maxwell family for more than a century.

In 1941, the Massasoit Historical Association purchased the house with the aim of preserving it as a historic landmark. Since then, the association has worked tirelessly to restore and maintain the house, and it is now open to the public as a museum.

Visitors to the Maxwell House can explore the interior of the house, which has been furnished with period-appropriate furniture and decor. The house also features exhibits that showcase the history of Warren and the surrounding area, including displays on the town's maritime history and its role in the American Revolution.
