Commonly known as the "Artemas Ward House", it is the lifelong home of Artemas Ward, American Major General in the American Revolutionary War and a Congressman from Massachusetts. Today, the house is a Nationally Registered Historic Place.
For over 300 years the house has stood at 786 Main Street. It was built by Ward's father, Nahum, about the time he was born.
